Bad Nerd

Lyrics

[Verse 1: MC Frontalot] I remember back in the previous millennium When, um, nerds were sighted, it was "Ready? Get 'em!" You'd hide it if you could, but none of us were able Maybe congregate together and discuss the label Maybe form a roundtable of the meek folk Even chuckle at what we deemed an elite joke: The elevation of our intellects and our low status Intersecting in sadness. It was so bad, it was Awful, I was there, I remember it I was present at the founding of the syndicate A pleasant moment of comradery When we swore we'd shape the world to how it ought to be We'd make everything perfect Tempt the planet with heavenly circuits Work it till we're what the world is in need of Thought there was only good nerds at the meet-up [Chorus: Corn Mo] You don't need to be bad nerd, step away from the dark side You don't need to be bad nerd, you can muster some pride You don't need to be bad nerd, step away from the dark side You don't need to be bad nerd, you can muster some pride You don't have to be bad [Verse 2: MC Frontalot] Our conspiracy spread rapidly None of the cool kids knew what was happening A-list: Peter Jackson, Sam Raimi Want your geek satisfactions? Pay Me Make it free, then charge them when the bill comes Yo, internet, where'd you get your skills from? How'd you hide in every pocket Every step of the way maintaining an open socket Worming into their psyches Giving them weird nerd urges however unlikely Ever so slightly instilling Nerd rage into the unwilling? Bad nerds ascending with no ceiling Kind of like we always did: the opposite of chilling Cannot stand a slight, demands a killing It's bad for that to be fulfilling [Chorus: Corn Mo] You don't need to be bad nerd, step away from the dark side You don't need to be bad nerd, you can muster some pride You don't need to be bad nerd, step away from the dark side You don't need to be bad nerd, you can muster some pride You don't have to be bad [Verse 3: MC Frontalot] Bad nerds, hacking the election and the top ten Didn't even stop then Make 'em gargle on your hot phlegm Might even SWAT your friends. Show your raw contempt For anyone who isn't nerd at all That's when you lost the plot, you got enthralled By power for its own sake Up in my geekery tower, seeking my own break From fucking getting hassled Why you got to make nerd mean asshole? Why you got to make internet cruel? Turn part of it into a murderous idiot school Turn the rest of it into paranoia fuel Wreck the normies, they're annoying you But what you're wrecking is the clique you represent You don't need to be bad. Ain't too late to repent [Chorus: Corn Mo] You don't need to be bad nerd, step away from the dark side You don't need to be bad nerd, you can muster some pride You don't need to be bad nerd, step away from the dark side You don't need to be bad nerd, you can muster some pride You don't have to be bad
