She's suffered far too many losses
Gotten black marks on her record
Been scolded by her bosses
Lost her father, her sister was killed in her stead,
And she has all of her brother's dark reproaches on her head
The girl with the chip in the back of her neck

Mulder's busy with his sister, the pain of being a man
I wonder if he's noticed that her life is in the can
But if things didn't keep getting harder
Then we'd never have the chance to watch her play the martyr
The girl with the chip in the back of her neck

(bridge)
I wonder why the writers who work at 1013
Keep brutalizing Scully till it's practically routine
It makes us so angry, all the pain she has to bear
But who among her champions can deny her grief has flair?
The girl with the chip in the back of her neck

"Do you realize that you're lonely?" Asks her admirer Padgett
Her words say that she's contented, but her face and voice can't match it
And she tells all of her family that she's glad of her decisions
But I don't want to believe she doesn't wish for some revisions
With no time left for friendships, and just Mulder on the phone
She could take a hundred with her, but she always sleeps alone
The girl with the chip in the back of her neck

(repeat bridge)
