I bought a pair of headphones (Beat Solos) that came with the red cord with control talk and I was wondering how come the headphones don't play any lyrics when I plug it into my computer, but when I listen to music on my iPhone it sounds perfect?

Sounds like the wiring on the iPhone-compatible cord in combination with your computer is causing centered sounds (present on both channels) to be cancelled out.

Switch the wire for the non-iPhone wire when you use your computer.
