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
