Still A Nerd

Lyrics

I have six bowties
None of my pants cuffs reach my shoes
And I sort my underwear by thread count

Majored in physics
Minored in getting beaten up
Wore a kick-me sign until
I had that jacket dry-cleaned

Lifting weights, I hurt myself with only three curls
And I've never had a conversation with girls
But I built a droid myself using parts from off the shelf
You can see that I'm still a nerd.

Not that I'm bragging
George Lucas texts me when he's stuck
I can quote the Matrix films in Klingon

Chess is too simple
I'd rather frag a bunch of n00bz
I'm a god until I have
To be in Meatspace again

'Cause my nasal laughter makes folks think I'm a dope
And someday I ought to get familiar with soap
But my bosses aren't saps, 'cause their network would collapse
If I wasn't still a nerd.

Jonathan Coulton
Maybe Weird Al, oh yeah, Tom Lehrer,
Someday I should pay them for their albums

Downloading's easy,
Downloading comedy is hard,
I can crack this DRM
But then I wrote it myself

A fine meal, a sunset or such similar joys
Seem a waste of time when I've got all of my toys
I'm an outcast socially, but I've bought your company,
It's just fine that I'm still a nerd

Steven Hawking says I'm still a nerd
There's no reason I should have matured
I can hack your whole life with a word
And you'll never know what just occurred
So be nice to me, I'm still a nerd
