Version 1 Version 2
[Verse 1]
G Em Am D
I come from scientists and atheists and white men who kill God
Am D G Em
They make technology high quality, complex, physiological
G D G Em
Experiments and sacrilege in the name of public good
Am D G
They taught me everything, just like a daddy should
[Verse 2]
G Em Am D
And you were beautiful and vulnerable and power and success
Am D G Em
God damn, I fell for you, your flamethrowers, your tunnels, and your tech
Am D B7 Em
I studied code because I wanted to do something great like you
Am D G
And the real tragеdy is half of it was true
[Bridge 1]
Am D G Em
But we've been fuckin' mеan, we're elitist, we're as flawed as any church
Am D G Em
And this faux-rad West coast dogma has a higher fuckin' net worth
Am D
I bit the apple 'cause I trusted you
B7 Em
It tastes like Thomas Malthus
Am D G Em
Your proposal is immodest and insane
Am D G Em
And I hope someday Selmers rides her fuckin' train
[Chorus]
Am D G Em
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it's true
Am D G Em
I wanted to be you and do what you do
Am D B7 Em
I lived here, I loved here, I thought it was true
Am D G Em
I feel so stupid, and so used
Am D G Em
I feel so used
[Verse 3]
Am D G Em
I was your baby, your first born, the hot girl in your compsci class
Am D G Em
I was darwin's prep school dream bred, born, and raised to kick your ass
Am D B7 Em
I fell for circuit boards, rocket ships, pictures of the stars
Am D G
If you could only be what you pretend you are
[Verse 4]
Am D G Em
When I said take me to the moon I never meant take me alone
Am D G Em
I thought if mankind toured the sky it meant that all of us could go
Am D B7 Em
But I don't wanna see the stars if they're just one more piece of land
Am D G
For us to colonize for us to turn to sand
[Bridge 2]
Am D G Em
'Cause we're so fuckin' mean, we're so elitist, we're as fucked as any church
Am D G Em
And this bullshit West coast dogma has a higher fuckin' net worth
Am D B7 Em
I bit the apple 'cause I loved you, and why would you lie?
Am D G
And then I realized that you're just as naïve as I am
Am D G
Oh, you're so traumatized it makes me want to cry
You dumb bitch
[Chorus]
Am D G Em
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it's true
Am D G Em
I wanted to be you and do what you do
Am D B7 Em
I lived here, I loved here, I bought it, it's true
Am D G
I'm so embarrassed, I feel abused
[Verse 5]
Am D G Em
Well I don't want to eat the rich, I'd have to eat my heroes first
Am D G Em
And my tuition's paid by blood, I might deserve your fate or worse
Am D B7 Em
But I don't need your god damn money, I don't need jack shit from you
Am D G
So when I speak, you bet your life my words are true
[Verse 6]
Am D G Em
Let me level with you man, as someone guilty of the game
Am D G Em
I took the help, I took the cash, I would've taken your last name
Am D B7 Em
So if any girl on Earth should get to make a call about this,
Am D G
it should be me, and as I see it, you're a dick
[Bridge 3]
Am D G Em
So fuck your tunnels, fuck your cars, fuck your rockets, fuck your cars again
Am D G Em
You promised you'd be Tesla, but you're just another Edison
Am D B7 Em
'Cause Tesla broke a patent, all you ever broke were hearts
Am D G
I can't believe you tore humanity apart
Em Am D G
With the very same machines that could have been our brand new start
And the worst part is
[Chorus]
Am D G Em
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it's true
Am D G Em
And sometimes I feel like I still fuckin' do
Am D B7 Em
I lived here, I loved here, I thought it was true
Am D G Em
I'm so embarrassed, I feel abused
Am D G Em
I feel so used
Am D G Em
I feel so used
Am D G Em
Take me to the moon
Am D G Em
I feel so used
Am D G
I feel so used
