Penelope Scott

3

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 goodThey 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
