My computer thinks I'm gay
I threw that piece of junk away
On the Champs-Élysées
As I was walking home
This is my last communiqué
Down the super-highway
All that I have left to say
In a single tome
I've got too many friends, too many people
That I'll never meet
And I'll never be there for
I'll never be there for
'Cause I'll never be there
If I could give it all away
Would it come back to me someday?
Like a needle in the hay
Or an expansive stone
But I've got a reason to declaim
The applications are to blame
For all my sorrow, and my pain
And feeling so alone
I've got too many friends, too many people
That I'll never meet
And I'll never be there for
I'll never be there for
'Cause I'll never be there
Got too many friends, too many people
That I'll never meet
And I'll never be there for
I'll never be there for
'Cause I'll never be there
My computer thinks I'm gay
What's the difference anyway?
When all the people do all day
Is staring into a phone
I've got too many friends too many people
That I'll never meet, I'll never be there for
I'll never be there for, 'cause I'll never be there
Too many friends too many people
That I'll never meet, I'll never be there for
I'll never be there for, 'cause I'll never be there
I'll never be there, I'll never be there
I'll never be there, I'll never be there
I threw that piece of junk away
On the Champs-Élysées
As I was walking home
This is my last communiqué
Down the super-highway
All that I have left to say
In a single tome
I've got too many friends, too many people
That I'll never meet
And I'll never be there for
I'll never be there for
'Cause I'll never be there
If I could give it all away
Would it come back to me someday?
Like a needle in the hay
Or an expansive stone
But I've got a reason to declaim
The applications are to blame
For all my sorrow, and my pain
And feeling so alone
I've got too many friends, too many people
That I'll never meet
And I'll never be there for
I'll never be there for
'Cause I'll never be there
Got too many friends, too many people
That I'll never meet
And I'll never be there for
I'll never be there for
'Cause I'll never be there
My computer thinks I'm gay
What's the difference anyway?
When all the people do all day
Is staring into a phone
I've got too many friends too many people
That I'll never meet, I'll never be there for
I'll never be there for, 'cause I'll never be there
Too many friends too many people
That I'll never meet, I'll never be there for
I'll never be there for, 'cause I'll never be there
I'll never be there, I'll never be there
I'll never be there, I'll never be there

While it's great to spread your ideas and find likeminded people, at one point in your life, especially if you're famous, it can become overwhelming. The protagonist is sad or better feels sorry for all those people he can never be there for although he knows how much they'd love a minute of his time. But he can't. And then, there are all those applications (apps), he's talking about, that he blames his sorrow on because they made his dilemma possible. The line 'When all the people do all day It staring into a phone' is the strongest and clearest line to see him criticizing the new era of smartphones and how people live more in virtual reality than in their normal life.
