I'll Still Be a Geek After Nobody Thinks It's Chic (The Nerd Anthem) Lyrics & Tabs by Marian Call
I'll Still Be a Geek After Nobody Thinks It's Chic (The Nerd Anthem)
guitar chords lyrics
All the cool kids keep enthusiasm rationed
Right down to the last explosive ounce
But I'd rather indulge my many passions
Even if my squaritude's a little too pronounced
Perhaps I do not strike you as a geek
Without the horn-rimmed glasses and knee-high argyle socks
But nerdery is more than wardrobe deep
And I'm a nerd down in my heart and that's where nerdhood rocks
I'm better aquainted than a good girl ought to be
With Aragorn and Yo-Saf-Bridge and Worf and HAL and Han
But you don't really know me and my culture don't control me
So don't you pigeon hole me 'cause my phaser's set to stun!
I have been a nerd since long before I could have heard
That bookish girls should look and act a certain way
And I'll still be a geek when I am utterly antique
I have been a nerd since long before I could have heard
That bookish girls should look and act a certain way
And I'll still be a geek when I am utterly antique
Because I do not care what normal people say
My superpower's draining fun from parties
But if I am a misfit then I'm in good company
With Auden, Austin, Hawking, Galileo and Van Gogh,
And countless other weirdos whom you really ought to know
So stow your expectations, no I won't fix your PC
And I don't mind being underrated or ignored
The world is much too interesting to entertain ennui
And I won't ever play it cool so I won't ever once be bored
Oh, I have been a nerd since long before anyone heard
That pale and scrawny was the latest fashion trend
And I'll still be a geek after nobody thinks it's chic
Because I don't require approval in the end
In aught-four, D-Kwon's Dance Grooves swept the country
And suddenly old moon boots were Italian haute couture
Time magazine reported that our time had finally come
I guess they didn't know that we already run the world
I have been a nerd since my first five syllable word
And no TV series or movie changes that
And I'll still be a geek now Vote for Pedro's so last week
I do not care whether Milan endorses plaid
I have been a nerd since long before anyone heard
That thin and scrawny was the latest fashion trend
And I'll still be a geek after nobody thinks it's chic
Because I don't require approval in the end
I have been a nerd since long before anyone heard
That thin and scrawny was the latest fashion trend
And I'll still be a geek after nobody thinks it's chic
You will find that I have nothing to defend
No, I don't need your approval in the end…
