GI entered this scene through rejection and honesty
AmNerds weren't mean, they were weird and that worked for me
CAfter ten years of teasing when social skills failed me
GDungeons & DDragons cured all that ailed me
GWe read books, we played games, we made art, we watched "Lost"
AmWe said things like "D20", "shipping", and "Mana cost"
CIt felt good to be myself, not being mocked
GStill self-conscious, though, we whispered Dthings about jocks
CBut one day, you grow up, come into your own
EmNow geek's not rejection, it's a label I own
AThen ignorant haters come to prove me wrong
DTell me I'm not nerdy enough to belong
chorus:
CI've got Amnothin' to prove
GI've got Amnothin' to prove
CI've got Amnothin' to prove

"Fake Geek Girl Test", that's a funny one, go ahead
How many comic books are there I haven't read?
I know it feels good to have a contest you win
It would feel even better if I wanted in
So women aren't geeks, so is that your conclusion?
That this is some secret club based on exclusion?
Twelve-year-old dorks would say you're being selfish
And then they'd go write in their journals in Elvish
(chorus)
(instrumental)
I've got cred, but honestly, I shouldn't need it
This world needs all kinds of folks to complete it
You've got gamers, and artists, and comic subscribers
Cosplayers, crafters, and fan-fiction writers
You can stop, never say "fake geek" again
Our club needs no bouncers, all who want in get in
But go ahead, if you want to own that role fully
I ain't got nothin' to prove to a bully!
(chorus)
Buddy,

Haters are gonna hate... G
