[Verse 1]
Just take a look at us
Aren't we ridiculous?
It's safe to say we've got no common sense
Just take a peak at us
The freaks on the minibus
The geeks you like to throw into the flames, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
You know it really hurts
And you love it
You know it really hurts
But we'll rise above it
You know it's gonna hurt
[Chorus]
Whoa, we know what we're worth
And you'll get what you deserve
When all the geeks inherit the earth, yeah
[Verse 2]
Hey, aren't we absurd?
We're just a bunch of nerds
It's safe to say you're so much cooler than that
So take a punch at us
Go ahead and steal the lunch from us
We'll take the blow
And play our part in the act
[Pre-Chorus]
You know it really hurts
And you love it
You know it really hurts
But you can shove it
Right where it really hurts
[Chorus]
Whoa, we know what we're worth
And you'll get what you deserve
When all the geeks inherit the earth, yeah
[Bridge]
You toss your sticks and stones
And we'll just lick our wounds
Beware the underdog
Payback is coming soon
Don't blame the universe
When the karma's reversed
Just look at yourself
And whoa, take a look at us
And then you'll know what's up
[Chorus]
Cause whoa, we know what we're worth
And you'll get what you deserve
When all the geeks inherit the earth, yeah
Oh whoa, we know what we're worth
We'll all go from worst to first
When all the geeks inherit the earth
