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 Gosh darn 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 really mean We're elitist We're as flawed as any Church And this faux rad west coast dogma Has a higher terrible net worth I bit the apple 'cuz I trusted you But it tastes like Thomas Malthus Your proposal is immodest and insane And I hope someday Selmers rides her 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 I feel 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 the mass 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 you to colonize For us to turn to sand Because we're so very mean We're so elitist We're as flawed as any church And this nonsense west coast dogma Has a higher terrible net worth I bit the apple 'cuz I loved you And why would you lie? And then I realized, You're just as naive as I am You're so traumatized, it makes me wanna cry You dumb idiot! 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 hero's first And my tuition's paid by blood I might deserve your fate or worse But I don't need your dirty money I don't need anything 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 would be me and as I see it You're a git So screw your tunnels, screw your cars, screw your rockets, screw your cars again You promised you'd be Tesla But you're just another Edison Because 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 really do I lived here, I loved here, I thought it was true I'm so embarrassed I feel abused I feel so used I feel so used Take me to the moon Because I feel so used I feel so used
