Olivia Olson - Nerd Like Me lyrics
[Olivia Olson - Nerd Like Me lyrics]
Well uh, wasn't always that way
But um, then I realized
You call me a nerd
As if the word were derogatory
You laugh at me for
Knowing what a logarithm is
But what I know and feel inside helps
Me take it all in stride
Because I know it’s truly great to be a nerd
Like me
For example that awesome video game that
You’ve been playing
Who do you think programmed it?
A nerd like me
A NASA mission to put men on the moon
Who do you think planned it?
(A nerd like she)
You haven't lived til you discovеr the joy
Of understanding thermodynamics (Entropy)
Or figuring out thе
Mathematical relationships
In the orbit's of our solar systems planet
(ooo ooo ooo ooo)
There once was a time when they’d tease
Me and I’d feel so bad
It doesn’t bother me anymore
But, I still don’t think it’s right
I don’t expect them to endeavor
To solve the world's problems
But they ought to show some respect
And stop annoying the people who mind
Next time you’re on the
Submode or the internet
Think about what king of mind conceived them
(A nerd like she)
Without nerds we’d still be living in caves
I’m telling you society needs them
(Yes we do)
The point I’m making is it’s great to be me
So I don’t care what others might say
And I know I’m in great company
The greatest geniuses were nerds in their day
Just like Tesla, Curie, Heisenberg
Einstein, Herschell, Leakey
And it’s gonna be a nerd like me
Who’s gonna perfect clean energy
(Gonna be a nerd like she)
Who’s gonna predict earthquakes
(Gonna be a nerd like she)
Who's gonna develop an engine that consumes
Greenhouse gas and emit's oxygen
(It’s gonna be a nerd like she)
Who’s gonna change the world
But um, then I realized
You call me a nerd
As if the word were derogatory
You laugh at me for
Knowing what a logarithm is
But what I know and feel inside helps
Me take it all in stride
Because I know it’s truly great to be a nerd
Like me
For example that awesome video game that
You’ve been playing
