[Verse 1]

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 tragеdy is half of it was true


[Pre-Chorus]

But we've been fucking mеan, 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


[Chorus]

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 abused

(I feel so used)


[Verse 2]

I was your baby, your firstborn

The hot girl in your comp-sci class

And I was Darwin's prep school dream

Born, bred, 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 wanna see the stars if they're just one more piece of land

For you to colonize, for us to turn to sand


[Pre-Chorus]

Because we're so fucking mean, we're so elitist

We're as fucked as any church

And this faux rad, 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


[Chorus]

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’m so embarrassed and so abused


[Verse 3]

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—


[Chorus]

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 thought it was 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


[Outro]

(I feel so used)
