[MC Frontalot - Nerd Versus Jock lyrics]
I’m not saddened to describe: you
Never mattered to me much
You were the beautiful ones on the schoolyard
Who were quick with a punch
Who were fast to point a flincher
Out for ridicule and derision
Who could operate athletic equipment
With all precision
Who held no superstition about
Doing unto others
Therefore I just avoided you
Jackets in school colors
Weren’t difficult to spot you
In don’t associate solved
In fact, in retrospect
You barely bothered me at all
So I bear you no ill will
Our eternal rivalry notwithstanding
You were always the IBM I
Was always the Tandy
Any nerd who couldn’t accept the
Social order was a cur
Other nerds would ostracize him yet all
Agreed: we knew for sure
That US > YOU, despite appearance
Look at now: demand for nerds
Old jocks: stock on clearance
Scratch potbellies and weep about the
Elbow and the wife i guess I am a little
Saddened to describe you
But, I’m going to be all right it’s cool
I’m not going blame you for saddening me
Never mattered to me much
You were the beautiful ones on the schoolyard
Who were quick with a punch
Who were fast to point a flincher
Out for ridicule and derision
Who could operate athletic equipment
With all precision
Who held no superstition about
Doing unto others
Therefore I just avoided you
Jackets in school colors
Weren’t difficult to spot you
In don’t associate solved
In fact, in retrospect
You barely bothered me at all
So I bear you no ill will
Our eternal rivalry notwithstanding
You were always the IBM I
Was always the Tandy
Any nerd who couldn’t accept the
Social order was a cur
Other nerds would ostracize him yet all
Agreed: we knew for sure
That US > YOU, despite appearance
Look at now: demand for nerds
Old jocks: stock on clearance
Scratch potbellies and weep about the
Elbow and the wife i guess I am a little
Saddened to describe you
But, I’m going to be all right it’s cool
I’m not going blame you for saddening me
