Lyrics

I come from scientists and atheists and white men who kill God
 They make technology high quality complex physiological
 Experiments and sacrilege in the name of public good
 They taught me everything, just like a daddy should
 And you were beautiful and vulnerable, and power and success
 Goddamn, I fell for you, your flamethrowers, your tunnels and your tech
 I studied code because I wanted to do something great like you
 And the real tragedy is half of it was true
 But we've been fucking mean, we're elitist, we're as flawed as any church
 And this faux rad' west coast dogma has a higher fucking net worth
 I bit the apple 'cause I trusted you, it tastes like Thomas Malthus
 Your proposal is immodest and insane
 And I hope someday Selmers rides her fucking train
 I loved you, I loved you
 I loved you, it's true
 I wanted to be you and do what you do
 I lived here, I loved here, I thought it was true
 I feel so stupid and so used
 I feel so used
 I was your baby, your first born, the hot girl in your comp sci' class
 And I was Darwin's prep school dream, bred, born, and raised to kick your ass
 I fell for circuit boards, rocket ships, pictures of the stars
 If you could only be what you pretend you are
 When I said, "Take me to the moon", I never meant take me alone
 I thought if mankind toured the sky, it meant all of us could go
 But I don't want to see the stars if they're just one more piece of land for us to colonize
 For us to turn to sand
 'Cause we're so fucking mean, we're so elitist, we're as fucked as any church
 And this bullshit west coast dogma has a higher fucking net worth
 I bit the apple 'cause I loved you, and why would you lie?
 And then I realized, you're just as naive as I am
 Oh, you're so traumatized, it makes me wanna cry
 You dumb bitch, I loved you, I loved you
 I loved you, it's true
 I wanted to be you and do what you do
 I lived here, I loved here
 I bought it, it's true
 I'm so embarrassed, I feel abused
 Well, I don't wanna eat the rich, I'd have to eat my heroes first
 And my tuition's paid by blood, I might deserve your fate or worse
 But I don't need your goddamn money, I don't need jack shit from you
 So when I speak, you bet your life, my words are true
 Let me level with you, man, as someone guilty of the game
 I took the help, I took the cash, I would've taken your last name
 So if any girl on Earth should get to make a call about this
 It should be me and as I see it, you're a dick
 So, fuck your tunnels, fuck your cars
 Fuck your rockets, fuck your cars again
 You promised you'd be Tesla, but you're just another Edison
 'Cause Tesla broke a patent, all you ever broke were hearts
 I can't believe you tore humanity apart
 With the very same machines that could've been our brand new start
 And the worst part is, I loved you
 I loved you, I loved you, it's true
 And sometimes I feel like I still fucking do
 I lived here, I loved here
 I brought it, it's true
 I'm so embarrassed, I feel abused
 I feel so used, I feel so used
 Take me to the moon
 'Cause I feel so used
 I feel so used
