Nerd Power

from I've Got a Fire by Englewood

lyrics

I don't like to talk much, I don't answer the telephone.
I don't go out to lunch, I'd rather to eat alone.
(She doesn't like to talk too much, she won't answer the telephone.
She won't go out to lunch, she'd rather to eat alone.)
But it gives me a warm feeling that
My smartphone can talk to my thermostat.

I like to exchange words with my friends;
I like to watch birds flying end over end.
(She likes to exchange words with my friends;
she likes to watch birds flying end over end.)
But it's not as sociable as it might seem.
It all happens on my iPad screen.

In another generation I would have been a loner --
A freaky-geeky kid sitting in a corner.
(In another generation she would have been a loner --
A freaky-geeky kid sitting in a corner.)
But now it's our time -- nerds-R-us,
I'd fit right in on the Google Bus!

I talk with lots of friends every day,
or at least I let them know I like what they say.
(She talks with lots of friends every day,
or at least she lets them know she likes what they say.)
The beauty of being a Facebook mama:
I can do it all wearing my pajamas!

I'm not anti-social -- I'm just kind of shy.
I know it would be better to look you in the eye.
(She's not anti-social -- she's just kind of shy.
She knows it would be better to look you in the eye.)
But then I might look like a fool
When I break some unwritten social rule.

In another generation I would have been a loner --
A freaky-geeky kid sitting in a corner.
(In another generation she would have been a loner --
A freaky-geeky kid sitting in a corner.)
But now it's our time -- nerds-R-us,
I'd fit right in on the Google Bus!

In another generation I would have been a loner --
A freaky-geeky kid sitting in a corner.
(In another generation she would have been a loner --
A freaky-geeky kid sitting in a corner.)
But now it's our time -- nerds-R-us,
now it's our time -- nerds-R-us,
now it's our time -- nerds-R-us,
Move on over, make room on the Google Bus!
