Lyrics

CPU

[Hook: Phantogram]

And it's you that's on my computer screen

Cause it's you that's on my mind

And it's you that's on my computer screen

Cause it's you that's on my mind

Cause it's you that's on my mind

[Verse 1: Big Boi]

The world is yours soon as you log on

I'm long gone like the dro that's blown in the wind, friend

Pretend that this life is but a dream then reality syncs in

The fantasy begins and it never ends

We like to role play, throw on some Coldplay

Go get some drugs and alcohol, fuck up our whole day

Now we trapped in the matrix

While Big Brother out here making movies, nigga, don't say shit

[Hook: Phantogram]

And it's you that's on my computer screen

Cause it's you that's on my mind

And it's you that's on my computer screen

Cause it's you that's on my mind

Cause it's you that's on my mind

[Verse 2: Big Boi]

The information age (Age)

The age of information but we still enslaved

So let me behave like a coon, bring them goons out and sell dope

That's what they shoving down our throat so I choke

And regurgitate the truest quotes I ever wrote, folk

My crew is loc'd out without the bandana

Yet we keep it cracking like a egg yolk, nigga, that's Atlanta

By way of West Savannah, yeah, yeah

[Hook: Phantogram]

And it's you that's on my computer screen

Cause it's you that's on my mind

And it's you that's on my computer screen

Cause it's you that's on my mind

Cause it's you that's on my mind

[Bridge: Big Boi]

As I scroll through the centerfolds

Wishing that the screen was three-dimensional

I know it doesn't seem too conventional

But it'll do until I get you in the physical

As I scroll through the centerfolds

Wishing that the screen was three-dimensional

I know it doesn't seem too conventional

But it'll do until I get you in the physical

[Hook: Phantogram]

And it's you that's on my computer screen

Cause it's you that's on my mind

And it's you that's on my computer screen

Cause it's you that's on my mind

Cause it's you that's on my mind

[Break: Phantogram]

The flash memory that I'll hold is all I know of time

What was waiting all along is all I have to realize

I've got the dial tone

The glowing screen, it means we're not alone

[Hook: Phantogram]

And it's you that's on my computer screen

Cause it's you that's on my mind

And it's you that's on my computer screen

Cause it's you that's on my mind

Cause it's you that's on my mind

[Outro]

And in other news, iTunes downloads are unreasonably low

Synthetics are causing an increase in teen overdoses

College debt has surpassed credit card debt

And the housing market is still making a comeback

This is Jack O'Hare reporting live from Stankonia Studios

And now, back to you, Dick
