[00:07.62]He doesn't have a problem with drugs [00:10.17]He just doesn't get them [00:14.50]He's fine that his mates have tattoos [00:17.39]But he thinks they'll regret them [00:21.18]He likes going to pubs [00:23.01]But he hates when the music's too loud [00:25.93]He tends not to go to rock concert's [00:28.87]'Cos he can't stand the crowds [00:31.74]But all he's ever wanted to be [00:35.03]Is a rock star [00:35.61]On a MTV [00:38.21]But he knows that it's not ****ing likely [00:41.28]He's just turned thirty [00:43.03]He knows that [00:44.13]He will always be [00:48.10][01:44.72]A rock 'n' roll nerd [00:51.27][05:03.91]He'll keep writing songs [00:52.90]The world will never hear [00:55.25]And though they won't be heard [00:57.00][05:09.57]He'll just keep writing [00:59.90][01:56.00][05:12.47]Oh yeah [01:01.75][01:57.75]But you see the problem is [01:04.34]He always dreamt of being a star [01:07.15]But he learned piano instead of guitar [01:11.03]Which in the nineties [01:12.48]Didn't get you very far [01:15.34]So while all the other [01:15.98]Kids were learning stairway [01:18.09]He was the piano to their forte [01:21.81]But he was convinced one day [01:23.90]He'd rock their ****ing asses [01:27.70]Be an icon [01:28.90]For the disenfranchised masse's [01:33.03]And grow his hair long [01:34.22]And rebel against the state [01:36.59]But just for now that'd have to wait [01:38.71]'Cos he's running late [01:39.97]For his morning classes [01:42.30]And he will always be [01:47.15]He'll keep playing gigs [01:49.01]That no one knows about [01:51.28][05:07.64]And though it sounds absurd [01:53.08]He'll just keep playing [02:00.33]There's not much [02:01.72]Depth in what he's singing [02:03.50]He's a victim of his upper [02:05.57]Middle class upbringing [02:08.15]So he can't write about the hood [02:10.71]Or bling bling [02:14.51]So he sits and imagines [02:15.82]His girlfriend is dead [02:18.03]To try and invoke some [02:19.01]Angston in his middle class head [02:21.50]But the *****'s always fine at half past nine [02:24.52]When they go to bed [02:26.50]And he's not spent a single night in prison [02:29.21]He has no issues with nutrition [02:32.79]He has no drinking problem [02:34.88]And no drug addiction [02:38.35]Unless you count the drugs [02:40.22]They put in chicken [02:43.47]And ********* always tends to make him cough [02:47.10]He doesn't look good with his tshirt off [02:49.26]And when he tries to act tough [02:50.90]You can tell he's trickin' [02:55.97]While his mates all go out late [02:58.35]Popping pills and having fun [03:00.86]He goes home and shower's [03:02.18]And gets a good eight hours [03:03.49]He gets his thrills from his morning run [03:06.17]And while his mates all go on dates [03:08.43]Taking speed [03:09.45]And drinking cans of bean [03:10.93]He stays home and cooks [03:12.37]Curls up with a book [03:13.49]With the girl he's had [03:14.57]Since he was seventeen [03:17.17]'Cos he's never really been part of the scene [03:19.46]Given Gun's and Roses he'll take Queen [03:21.93]He's more into beatles than the stones [03:24.31]He's more Stevie wonder than ramones [03:26.95]And he's never owned a transit van [03:29.30]He's never shot a Panterra fan [03:31.65]He doesn't know the difference [03:33.06]Between metal and thrash [03:34.13]He couldn't tell you nothing about [03:35.49]Axel and slash [03:36.64]He likes ben folds [03:37.60]And the Jackson five [03:38.66]He knows all the words [03:39.87]To staying alive [03:41.30]And though he wants [03:42.37]To be all grungy and cool [03:43.45]He spent eleven years in a mother ****ing [03:44.13]Private school [03:46.54]So it don't matter how he tries [03:48.28]He cannot hide behind his rock 'n' roll lies [03:50.46]'Cos you've either got it or you don't [03:52.74]You'll either rock it or you won't [03:55.21]Yeah you've either got it or you don't [03:59.88]Yeah you'll either rock it or you won't [04:06.64]He knows that his music lacks depth [04:09.48]But it just can't be helped [04:12.68]He has nothing interesting to say [04:15.53]So he writes about himself [04:20.95]But he doesn't want to seem self obsessed [04:24.57]So he writes in third person [04:34.33]In an attempt to seem more rock n' roll [04:36.54]But he suspects it's not workin' [04:41.34]And deep in his heart he knows [04:44.30]he will never be [04:46.70]Bono Or Bowie [04:48.49]And even if he was quite pretty [04:51.32]With small pants like Kylie [04:53.94]He know's that he [04:55.33]Will always be [05:01.27]A rock roll nerd [05:05.33]The world don't care about [05:15.10]You can criticise him [05:17.70]But he won't care [05:20.17]'Cos he wants to rock [05:22.36]And he will never be deterred [05:26.02]But he'll always be a ****ed up little [05:29.33]Tryhard wannabe rock roll nerd [05:42.81]Rock roll nerd
