Rät Lyrics

[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)
