Great To Be A Nerd Lyrics - Arrogant Worms

It's great to be a nerd, It's great to be a nerd 

The only light we ever see is from our moniter 

We argue about comic books and Internet connections 

The biggest highlight of the year is the Star Trek Convention 

Our town's not big enough to sign up any stars 

But we once met a red shirt who was phasered by a Borg 

(Man, he knew Mr. Sulu!) (What?) 

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 

(I'm a Hobbitt! Ha ha ha ha!) 

It's great to be a nerd, It's great to be a nerd 

We think Tolkein was 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 basement 

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
