Were you geeky in school? Bullied? This is our anthem!

I'd like to dedicate this song to the four girls who jumped me as I was walking home from junior high, hit me, tore my coat, broke my glasses, and generally caused me all sorts of angst. Oh, and let's not forget the gum in the hair, and my personal favourite, fish guts in my locker in high school.



The folks at The Guild have done it again. I actually downloaded this song from Amazon (what's the point of having a gift card balance if you don't use it? Thanks, Momma!) It is so going on my phone. :) Thanks to YKWIA for sharing it with me...he knew I'd relate.

This song makes me so HAPPY and upbeat!

Here are the lyrics:

1ST VERSE:
Oh, no. Don't pretend I didn't see
You roll your eyes at my gaming tee
Don't know if you can read or if you've seen
The sweet piece in this week's Wired magazine
The latest trend has hit its peak
They say that geek's becomin' chic
So now you're out of style as you can be
And I'm in vogue, so you can bite me

CHORUS:
To all the asshat jocks who beat me up in school
Now I'm the one that's cool
I'm the one that's cool
To all the prom queen bitches thinking they still rule
Now I'm the one that's cool
I'm the one that's cool

2ND VERSE:
Try to cop my style but I'm the real thing
While you played sports, I played Magic: the Gathering
Never earned a part of nerd society
My Aquaman pajamas prove my pedigree
Watched my Next Gen every night
Wore a headgear to fix my overbite
Your black-rimmed glasses are prescription free, where as me
I literally can't see my hand in front of my face

CHORUS:
To all the asshat jocks who beat me up in school
Now I'm the one that's cool
I'm the one that's cool
To all the prom queen bitches thinking they still rule
Now I'm the one that's cool
I'm the one that's cool
And to my eighth-grade crush who pushed me in the pool
Now I'm the one that's cool
I'm the one that's cool
You may be tan and fit and rich but you're a tool
And I'm the one that's cool
I'm the one that's cool

3RD VERSE:
Role reversal must be a total drag
But there's no point, no point for me to humblebrag
I appreciate you for being cruel
I'm burning bright thanks to your rejection fuel
Got my in-jokes you won't get
Like Honey Badger, Troll Face and Nyan Cat
So now your ballin' parties seem so dumb
You can Evite me, and I'll say yes, but I won't really come

Got my comics
Got my games
All the things you thought were lame
Got my cosplay
Fanfic too
Got you pegged
STF-You


CHORUS:
To all the asshat jocks who beat me up in school
Now I'm the one that's cool
I'm the one that's cool
To all the prom queen bitches thinking they still rule
Now I'm the one that's cool
I'm the one that's cool
And to my eighth-grade crush who pushed me in the pool
Now I'm the one that's cool
I'm the one that's cool
You may be tan and fit and rich but you're a tool
And I'm the one that's cool
I'm the one that's cool
