Lyrics
Recordings
I come from scientists and atheists

and white men who kill God

They make technology high

quality, comple , physiological

E periments 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

God damn, 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 tragеdy

is half of it was true

But we've been f kin' mеan, we're

elitist, we're as flawed as any church

And this fau rad West coast dogma

has a higher f kin' 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 f kin' 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 firstborn,

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 that 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 f kin' mean, we're so

elitist, we're as f ked as any church

And this bullshit West coast dogma

has a higher f kin' net worth

I bit the apple 'cause I loved

you, and why would you lie?

And then I realized that

you're just as naïve as I am

Oh, you're so traumatized

it makes me want to cry

You dumb b h

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 want to 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 god damn money,

I don't need jack s t 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 d k

So f k your tunnels, f k your cars,

f k your rockets, f k 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 have 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 f kin' do

I lived here, I loved here,

I bought 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
