Lyrics:
When I took the school bus I never got a seat
And in football, the ball never touched my feet
On days when we had group work I always stayed in bed
When we went on class trips I wished I was dead
I thought the library was my home
The doctor thought: Asberger syndrome
Who am I in this world?
They all cry: “You’re a nerd!”
Why am I even here?
They say: “Why are you so weird?”
I applied to college and suddenly I found
People who were nice to me, who thought the earth was round
They wanted to know why, to learn and classify
And joked about chemistry and that made me high
And for the first time in my life
I had hope that I might find a wife
I am me in this world
I’m no sheep in a herd
I am free like a bird
I am me. I am a nerd
I wrote my first review. I got my PhD
I was made professor and dean of faculty
I’m always hard at work, diligent and prudent
How convenient that I married my PhD student
And now I can do anything!
I can study the love life of banana flies
Analyse postmodern German architecture
Explain the blood supply to the right adrenal cortex
And research the crap out of Shakespeare’s works prior to Titus Andronicus!
I can fly in this world
I have a brain. I feel no shame
And to the world, I say it loud:
I am a nerd and I am proud!
