Great To Be A Nerd

It's great to be a nerd, it's great to be a nerd
The only light we see is from our moniter

We argue about comic books and intenet connections
The biggest highlight of the year is the Star Trek Convention
Our town isn't big enough to sign up any stars
But we once met a red shirt that was phasered by a Borg

It's great to be a nerd, it's great to be a nerd
We wear our Star Trek uniforms and talk like Captain Kirk

We have our own heroes who we try to emulate
I dream of one day being as sexy as Bill Gates
We hate watching sports 'cause we're reading Carl Sagan,
But we'd watch the Olympics if they played Dungeons and Dragons!

It's great to be a nerd, it's great to be a nerd,
We think Tolkien's a genius and Shakespeare was a turd

We rarely get a date or get talked to by a girl
Unless they're having trouble with their algebra homework
We're emotionally bereft and we're sexually frustrated
But we can download photographs of Agent Scully naked!

It's great to be a nerd, it's great to be a nerd,
We know the truth is out there, but we'd have to leave our room

We are the nerds in your neighbourhood
Polyester's a fashion statement
But there's more room on the beach for you
Cause we're locked in our basements

It's great to be a nerd, it's great to be a nerd
We like to wear colours that do not appear in nature

It's great to be a poorly dressed, fashionless,
Star Trekking, roleplaying,
Ninety pound when wet down,
Pasty-skinned, pop drinking, underfed genius
Yes, it's great to be a nerd!
