Lyrics Being a Geek - 13 Original Broadway Cast, Graham Phillips

Being a Geek

Being a geek is the lonliest thing in the world
I gotta tel ya rabbi
When you’re a geek it’s the lonliest thing in the world
You’re always wondering what everybody’s laughing 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 talking about
And being a geek doesn’t go once your gone or your grown
(Tell me about it brother)
Thw girls all role there 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 you’re 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 wanna get to second base
If you’re cool you know you’ve got a shot
But oh, if you’re not
It’s a waste, it’s a drag
It’s suck in a bag
It’s the lonliest thing in the world
(geek, geek, geek, ohhh)
Oh yeah
(geek, geek, geek)
It’s like cold wind blowin yeah
(geek, geek, ohhh)
If you like the wrong movies
If you like the wrong bands
If you take the wrong classes, don’t speak
(You're a geek)
If it’s Saturday night and you don’t have any plans
'Cause you spent the past week learning Greek
(You're a geek)
If you’re very well acquainted
With the locker room toilet
'Cause your heads been shoved inside it just squeak
(I'm a geek)
If you start to get excited 'cause you’re
Gonna throw a party
But the people you’ve invited all shreak
(Geek)
You freak
(Geek)
You’re not unique
(Geek)
It’s just the life of the geek
But when you’re cool
You can rally when the blues attack
Every problem just roles off your back
You can handle every slip and slide
Without breaking your stride
When your cool
You don’t care that people disappear
You don’t care that your dad’s not here
You don’t care that your life’s been bruted and bent
Without your consent
The 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 the lonliest thing
I know it’s the lonliest thing
In the world
(geek, geek, geek, geek)
(geek, geek, geek, geek, hmmm)
