Lyrics -
I got a laptop,
From a computer shop,
It was a rip off,
I wanna turn the power off,
And live in tree tops,
Just like the Ewoks,
And when the music stops,
That's when the beat drops.
All I can hear is control alt delete keeping me from sleep,
All I can hear is control alt delete keeping me from sleep,
All I can hear is control alt delete keeping me from sleep,
All I can hear is control alt delete control alt delete.
I got a smart phone,
So I could phone home,
It was an unknown,
Entity I should leave well alone,
I couldn't work it all,
I cursed the day I was born,
I couldn't take it any more,
And smashed it right off the wall.
In this world of powerful machines,
Is there any limit to our dreams?
But then nothing's ever how it seems,
Especially when everything can suddenly go to blue screen.
I got a robot,
From a used car lot,
It didn't cost a lot,
It was a blow job bot,
I put it down below,
And what do you know?
I gave a big moan,
Before it pulled me right off.
