Nerd Rock

Lyrics

We play a little genre called "nerd rock" We sing about topics that appeal to geeks We may not be cool, but we're trendy Though 20 years ago we'd have just been freaks Somebody somewhere along the line decided he was smart He thought he'd sing about important issues and sing it from the heart So everyone would think him wise, say "hmmm," and nod each head He sang what they already knew but hadn't always said So bang your head with me, and we can all agree That you and I are wise though neither is surprised Bang your head with me and we'll go home happy 'Cause mankind is set free when you bang your head with me It only sounds wise if you get it And no one ever has the time to explain Even if we think of something clever Trying to teach you would just be in vain Teaching life lessons in 3 minutes while following a rhyme scheme Though it sounds good in theory, in practice it's a pipe dream The only lessons worth learning would be too hard to explain So we break it down into sound bytes that sound so sweet to say So bang your head with me, and we can all agree That you and I are wise though neither is surprised Bang your head with me and we'll go home happy 'Cause mankind is set free when you bang your head with me Nodding your head constitutes acceptance of the end user license agreement I'd probably write another verse except I've run out of room on the page I know I'm not good, so I'll be short And get myself off of the stage So bang your head with me, and we can all agree That you and I are wise though neither is surprised Bang your head with me and we'll go home happy 'Cause mankind is set free when you bang your head with me
