The Dodos - Nerds lyrics

We tried but we failed Been saving our place We have all the heart But none of the ambition We make the most sense They laugh in our face We're nerds but we're dumb Its just a position To good for our looks Too good for our folks We're leaving this town We're joining a space team. In times we held our hands to our mouths We spoke to our selves While thinking aloud These days are number now We found an idea We hide it We hide it I swear that i felt When every one laughed A piece of my self A habit was forming I think of the hell It keeps me in check In all that i do In 9 in the morning I know what i need I am needing it bad Its still in the cards The record is playing You have what you need You keep it in store Incase that you loose it While looking for These days come back again We found an idea We fight it We fight it Lets build a wall Against the cynical acts Its gotten old Its still in tact This holes been filled With memories traped The thought remains It will not react React react React, react, react Goodbye to my friends Goodbye to my folks I'll see you in hell I'll see you in heaven I know what i know I am how act Where ever i go I am what i'm given These stories are told To audience backs This barrel of laughs Is there but its broken We'll keep it in mind We'll keep it instilled We'll follow the line We'll follow until These days come back again We found an idea But we lost it We lost it Lets build a wall Against the cynical acts Its gotten old its still in tact This holes been filled with memories traped The thought remains It will not react React react React, react, react React, react, react React, react, react (nerds) (nerds) (nerds) (nerds)
