about

Originally released as part of the EP, "Anyone Heard of Myspace?", You Know You're a Nerd has been re-recorded, re-mixed and re-pretty-much-anything-you-can-think-of for its release on Too Long; Didn't Listen.

The title is fairly self explanatory.

lyrics

You know you're a nerd
When a night out is spent online
You know you're a nerd
When you're on the internet all the time
You know you're a nerd
When you've bought a mac
You know you're a nerd
Because you bought an overpriced piece of crap

But let's be honest
Who really needs two mouse buttons anyway?
It's like having a social life; it's overrated.
I'm not really the person to ask about that

You know you're a nerd
When you get cold to show off your t-shirt
You know you're a nerd
When you get a uke to match your t-shirt
You know you're a nerd
When you learn the ukulele without a teacher
You know you're a nerd
When you know the difference between Dobby and Kreacher

Jazz interlude

You know you're a nerd
When you think all the pop songs sound the same
You know you're a nerd
When you think that record companies should take the blame
You know you're a nerd
When you think that all the pop is manufactured
You know you're a nerd
When you realise nothing rhymes with manufactured

And then write a song about it
All the pop songs sound the same
