My Only Friend Is A Computer Lyrics

My only friend is a computer

It always knows just what to say

So when I'm tired of the future

It always makes me happy in some way

Showing me a video of puppies

Playing with their mother in the sun

Then the next one isn't quite so lovely

It's a boy of maybe fourteen with a gun

My only friend is a computer

It always knows just what I need

I've never met somebody cuter

Than all the people I see on its screen

Showing me a video of dancing

A happy couple, clearly quite in love

Then the next one isn't quite romancing

It's a video of drone strikes from above

My only friend is a computer

It always knows just what to do

So when I feel like I'm a loser

It always lets me know that might be true

Showing me a forum full of hatred

Angry people driven to the edge

All convinced that their outcome is fated

That bitter and alone they'll end up dead

My only friend is a computer

Tell me what could be better than that

I'm getting tired of the future

But at least I know my friend will have my back

Showing me a tragedy I can't help

Seventy or eighty times a day

Me I thought that that'd be bad for my health

But my friend tells me it's just fine for my brain
