[JEREMY]
I already know what itâs like to
Be the loser
I should find out what itâs like to
Not be the loser, or the geek, or the whatever
I think I felt inconsequential
Since middle school began
I knew I had no potential
To be the leading man
But based on how todayâs going
I m finally gaining ground
I even got some blood flowing
With no computer screen around
Which was cool
But what really felt good
Was doing something that
I never thought that I could
Itâs not only school thatâs rough
Being lonelyâs stupid tough
Now, I think Iâve had enough
Of being the loser, the geek, or whatever
Michael thinks that weird is rad
But feeling weird just makes me sad
And I deserve to not feel bad
From being the loser, the geek, or whatever
Sick of being in the loser, the geek or whatever yeah!
Woah! Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh!
Woah! Uh huh, uh huh!
Dad taught me âFollow your instincts!
Trust your inner voice! Listen to your heart!â And such
My whole life I ve followed my instincts
[JEREMY, spoken]
Well guess what!?
Dm (Stop)
My instincts suck so much!
[JEREMY, sung]
So now Iâm taking direction
From another voice
If my instincts have an objection
Then that means Iâm making the right choice!
Behaving this way feels bizarre
But if things keep up the way they are
Then soon enough Iâll get real far
From being the loser, the geek, or whatever
If Brooke can look me in the eye
Like Iâm some normal handsome guy
I owe it to myself to try
Not being the loser, the geek, or whatever
Sick of being the loser, geek, or whatever yeah!
Woah! Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh!
Woah! Uh huh, uh huh!
Prompt me, command me and Iâll obey!
I have the bandwidth to do as you say!
Especially now, since I clearly see
The problem has always been me
Take a breath And get prepared
But still Iâm just a little scared
For who gets cut
And who gets spared
When I m the cool dude, the hero, or whatever
If Christine likes me in the end
Will I be able to pretend
I didnât fail my one real friend?
But thatâs the shit I normally would think
Get over it, get priorities in sync
Just mute the voice inside your head
()
And connect to another source instead
(Single Strum)
Iâve earned a right to selfishly
Be all for one and one for me
Iâve wasted all eternity
Just being the loser, the geek, or whatever
I m steady and the game s begun
Iâm ready, set, Iâm player one!
The futureâs now, I m freakin done
With being the weirdo, the wuss, the underdog
Being the misfit, the old school analog
Being the odd-ball, the weakling freak
The failure, the sucker, the âplease donât speak!â
Oh, I can hardly wait for the moment when
Iâm not the loser, the geek, or whatever
Oh, Iâm not the loser, the geek, no never!
No! Iâm not the loser, the geek, or whatever
Ever again!
[MICHAEL, spoken]
Jeremy?
[JEREMY, spoken]
Optic nerve blocking, on
[SQUIP, spoken]
Now, letâs get to work
