The Revenge of the Nerd

Music, lyrics: Henrik Widegren

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

Spoken: And now I can do whatever I want! I can study the love life of banana flies. Analyze postmodernist 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
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!
