18+
             A#            Gm            Cm
I come from scientists and atheists and white
              F
men who kill God
              A#          Gm          Cm
They make technology high quality, complex,
       F
physiological
   A#            Gm               Cm             F
Experiments and sacrilege in the name of public good
                D#               F            A#
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 tragedy is half of it was true

                        D#          A#
But we've been fuckin' mean, we're elitist,
           D            Gm
we're as flawed as any church
          Cm                  A#          D
And this faux-rad West coast dogma has a higher
             Gm
fuckin' net worth
          Cm             F
I bit the apple 'cause I trusted you
    D                  Gm
It tastes like Thomas Malthus
         D#         F           A# Gm
Your proposal is immodest and insane
            Cm              F                 A#
And I hope someday Selmers rides her fuckin' train

Chorus:
   D#            A#          D               Gm
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it's true
    D#       A#         D          Gm
I wanted to be you and do what you do
   D#            A#             D7             Gm
I lived here, I loved here, I thought it was true
            Cm   F       A#  Gm
I feel so stupid, and so used
Cm  F     A#
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 fuckin' mean, we're so
elitist, we're as fucked as any church
And this bullshit West coast dogma has
a higher fuckin' net worth
I bit the apple 'cause I loved you,
and why would you lie?
And then I realized you're just as naïve as I am
Oh, you're so traumatized, it makes me want to cry

Chorus:
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 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 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
have been our brand new start

Chorus:
And the worst part is
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it's true
And sometimes I feel like I still fuckin' 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
