I'll Still Be a Geek After Nobody Thinks It's Chic (The Nerd Anthem) [Live]

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
 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...
