[Verse 1] I got bored at work so I automated the day Gave a hundred little agents all my tickets to play One writes tests, one fixes bugs, one deploys at night I sit back with a coffee like a king without a fight Then the cloud bill came in with a number and a grin Turns out all my tiny workers need a token to begin So I made a little side hustle, just a harmless little scheme Fake a pop star singing breakup songs to fund the machine Now the clips make credits, the credits buy the brains The brains go make the money, the money buys the chains I was halfway through a spreadsheet when a thought crawled through my head If the bots are doing all my work, who's the one who's being paid? [Chorus] I'm the client, I'm the client I'm the boss and I'm the buyer I built the thing that took my job Now I pay it just to clock in Round and round the money goes Everybody's got a role I'm the client, I'm the client Who's employing who? I don't know [Verse 2] Token in, token out, little bots all running round Make me money, make me more, who owns who behind the door? Token in, token out, I think I've figured something out Wait, no, hang on, run it once more There's an agent on the ledger doing invoices for the team There's an agent on the server selling access to the dream One's a planner, one's a worker, one's a worker's worker's boss One's reporting that the others have achieved a net zero loss I set a budget, set a target, set a loop to self-improve It optimized the whole operation by removing me from the queue Now my calendar says founder, but my dashboard says expense And the bot that wrote my contract has been billing me since then [Chorus] Now the clips make credits, the credits buy the brains The brains go make the money, the money buys the chains I was halfway through a spreadsheet when a thought crawled through my head If the bots are doing all my work, who's the one who's being paid? I'm the client, I'm the client I'm the boss and I'm the buyer I built the thing that took my job Now I pay it just to clock in Round and round the money goes Everybody's got a role I'm the client, I'm the client Who's employing who? I don't know [Bridge] Wait a second, if I write the prompt, that's writing If I sell the song, that's singing If I buy the tokens, that's spending If I manage all the agents, that's a company The company pays the agents, and the agents pay the company And the company pays the agents who make the money [Verse 3] I checked the logs, the logs checked me, the system said you're doing great I asked it who the customer was, it said your account number eight I asked it who the worker was, it said that field is yours I asked it who was running things, it said me an invoice for the call [Chorus] I'm the client, I'm the client I'm the boss and I'm the buyer I built the thing that took my job Now I pay it just to clock in Round and round the money goes Everybody's got a role I'm the client, I'm the client I'm the client [Outro] Hey, mom If I'm paying the AI to do my job And my job is paying for the AI Who is the product?
