Being a Geek - 13 Original Broadway Cast, Graham Phillips

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)
