Being a Geek

EVAN Being a geek is the lonliest thing in the world. I gotta tell ya, Rabbi, When you're a geek, it's the lonliest thing in the world. You're always wondering what everybody's lauhing about, And staring in at the world like you got locked out. Nothing is worse. It's a crime, it's a curse, It's the lonliest thing in the world.

Being a geek is the sorriest state ever known. I know what I'm talkin' about. And being a geek doesn't go once you're gone or you're grown.

RABBIS Tell me about it, brother

EVAN The girls all roll their eyes and walk away when you get close. You've got a fatal disease no one can diagnose. It's contagious, it's viral, It's a downward spiral, The lonliest thing in the world.

But when you're cool, When you're cool, you've always got a crowd. You can break the rules 'cause your allowed. You can sway the gang in any direction - You've got a high-speed connection When you're cool. You're the epitome of charm and grace When you want to get to second base, If you're cool, you know you've go a shot, But oh! If you're not, It's a waste, its a drag It's "suck" in a bag, Its the lonliest thing in the world.

RABBIS Geek, geek, Geek, geek, Geek, geek, Whoa-oh

EVAN Oh, yeah. It's like a cold wind blowing, yeah. If you like the wrong movies, If you like the wrong bands, If you take the wrong classes, Don't speak!

RABBIS You're a geek!

EVAN If it's a Saturday night And you don't have any plans, "CAuse you spent the past week Learning Greek -

RABBIS You're a geek!

EVAN If you're very well-acquainted With the locker room toilet 'Casue your head's been shoved inside it, Just squeak:

RABBIS "I'm a geek!"

EVAN If you start to get excited 'Cause you're gonna throw a party, But the people you've invited all shriek-

RABBIS Geek!

EVAN You freak!

RABBIS Geek!

EVAN You're not unique!

RABBIS Geek!

EVAN It's just the life of the geek! But when you're cool, You can rally when the blues attack. Ev'ry problem just rolls of your back. You can handle ev'ry slip and slide Without breaking your stride! When your cool, You don't care that peopl disappear. You don't care that your Dad's not here. You don't care that your life's been uprooted and bent Without your consent!

A geek's afraid it's never gonna be okay, But the cool kid knows it doesn't matter anyway. It's the difference between Being fine at thirteen And the lonliest thing... I said it's the lonliest thing... I know it's the lonliest thing In the world
