Marian Call - I'll Still Be A Geek After Nobody Thinks It's Chic (The Nerd Anthem) lyrics

All the cool kids keep enthusiasm rationed Right down to the last explosive ounce But I'd rather indulge my many pa**ions Even if my squaritude's a little too pronounced Perhaps I do not strike you as a geek Without the horn-rimmed gla**es 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 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, Austen, 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…
