[Verse x2]
Buy it, use it, break it, fix it
Trash it, change it, mail – upgrade it
Charge it, point it, zoom it, press it
Snap it, work it, quick – erase it
Write it, cut it, paste it, save it
Load it, check it, quick – rewrite it
Plug it, play it, burn it, rip it
Drag and drop it, zip – unzip it
Lock it, fill it, call it, find it

Cross it, crack it, switch – update it
Name it, read it, tune it, print it
Scan it, send it, fax – rename it
Touch it, bring it, pay it, watch it
Turn it, leave it, start – format it
