Penelope Scott - Rät lyrics
[Penelope Scott - Rät lyrics]
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
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 tragеdy is half of it was true
But we've been fuckin' mеan, we're elitist
We're as flawed as any church
And this faux rad West coast dogma
Has a higher fuckin' 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 fuckin' 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 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
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
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
White men who kill God
They make technology, high quality
