LYRICS:

I'm sure you've learned while living with a nerd
that the geeks will inherit the Earth.
So for self-preservation you need an education,
my demonstration will remove your hesitation.
There's so many kinds, I couldn't possibly detail,
So for now, let's stick to the basics,
listen up, here's a few of my favorites.

First, there are the sci-fi nerds,
they're like walking stereotypes.
Whether speaking Klingon,
or debating Babylon 5.
Better sign a petition,
for the resurrection of Firefly,
I miss you Inara!
I've always been a Saffron guy!
You spend your nights in dreams of Tatooine,
released your own edit of the Prequel Trilogy, yeah!

How could you, George!?

Someday the nerds will rise,
the freaks will demand their slice of the pie.
Rebuild the world in our image,
So you'd better learn our language.

Next up, you have the internet fiends,
they're checking their e-mail while they're asleep.
Keep a tab open to your Facebook news feed,
Open Wikipedia just to proofread,

Cite your sources!

Demotivational posters and lolcats,
4chan trolls had better rickroll that,
They're fillin' Amazon with negative reviews,
but for Chuck Norris, they're kneelin' in the pews.
Is he a pirate or a ninja?

Both!

Don't forget about the music dorks,
they're jamming all night on the same three chords,
Add some Auto-Tune and post it on YouTube!
But a cappella would get you more views!

Ba da doo doot doo doot ba!
Ba da doo doot
So what you think about that?
Ba da doo doot
It's just one dude multi-tracked!
Please subscribe!

Who's next? The gamers.
We can be a bit obsessed.
We take a hobby and treat it like a job,
grind all day,
and never protest.
Maybe play online,
and get accused of incest,

You motherfu-!

armed with fierce loyalty,

Fanboys!

to foreign corporate interest.
We play a new game for three days,
then trade it back in for some spare change,

Credit!

the hardcores snipin' with their headsets on,
and the casuals rockin' with their grandmas,
but the retro-gamers are close to my heart, screamin'

up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-B-A-start!

Thirty lives fool!

Someday the nerds will rise,
the freaks will demand their slice of the pie.
Rebuild the world in our image,
So you'd better learn our language.

Someday the nerds will rise,
the geeks will enjoy their slice of the pie.
Rebuild the world in our image,
So you'd better learn our language.

Wait a minute! Facebook?
Right.
My mom uses Facebook!
So what?
Well, how could something like that be geeky? According to your logic, I'd say half the world is nerdy!
Then our work is nearly done!

A geek is just somebody with an everyday hobby who takes it too seriously,
It's not so hard to believe that
everyone's a little bit nerdy!

Comic book geeks fall into the trap
that the best way to read 'em is to keep 'em shrink-wrapped.

And the D&D kids stay relevant,
using twenty-sided dice as girl repellent.

With film buffs everything's arcane
when comparing Transformers to Citizen Kane.

Japanophiles better call the shots,
cause they love subtitles, tentacles, and giant robots.

History junkies, time, they circumvent,
at a renaissance fair, Civil War reenactment.

Those science types, are content
when they're flashing gang signs of their favorite element.

Iridium!

Fantasy freaks get their fill
quoting Robert Jordan or Tom Bombadil.

Furries find it hard to recruit,
not everybody likes making love in a bunny suit.

Someday the nerds will rise,
the freaks will demand their slice of the pie.
Rebuild the world in our image,
So you'd better learn our language.

Someday the nerds will rise,
the freaks will demand their slice of the pie.
Rebuild the world in our image,
So you'd better learn our language.

Someday the nerds will rise,
the geeks will enjoy their slice of the pie.
Rebuild the world in our image,
So you'd better learn our language.
