Nerds Lyrics by The Dodos

Beware of the Maniacs

0

We tried but we failed
Been saving our place
We have all the heart
But none of the ambition
We make the most sense
They laugh in our face
We're nerds but we're dumb
Its just a position

To good for our looks
Too good for our folks
We're leaving this town
We're joining a space team
In times we held
Our hands to our mouths
We spoke to ourselves
While thinking aloud

These days are numbered now
We found an idea
We hide it
We hide it

I swear that I felt
When everyone laughed
A piece of my self
A habit was forming
I think of the hell
It keeps me in check
In all that I do
In 9 in the morning

I know what I need
I'm needing it bad
It's still in the cards
The record is playing
You have what you need
You keep it in store
In case that you lose it
While looking for

These days to come back again
We found an idea
We fight it
We fight it

Let's build a wall against
The cynical acts
It's gotten old
It's still in tact
This holes been filled
With memories trapped
The thought remains
It will not react, react, react
React, react, react

Goodbye to my friends
Goodbye to my folks
I'll see you in hell
I'll see you in heaven
I know what I know
I am how act
Wherever I go
I am what I'm given

These stories are told
To audience backs
This barrel of laughs
Is there but it's broken
We'll keep it in mind
We'll keep it instilled
We'll follow the line
We'll follow until

These days come back again
We found an idea
But we lost it
We lost it

Let's build a wall
Against the cynical acts
It's gotten old, it's still in tact
This hole's been filled with memories trapped
The thought remains
It will not react, react react
React, react, react
React, react, react
React, react, react
