I entered the scene through rejection and honesty
Nerds weren't mean they were weird and that worked for me
After ten years of teasing, when social skills failed me
Dungeons & Dragons cured all that ailed me
We read books
We played games
We made art
We watched Lost
We said things like D20, shipping, and mana cost
It felt good to be myself, not being mocked
Still self-concious though we whispered things about jocks
But one day you grow up
Come into your own
Now geek's not rejection
It's a label I own
Then ignorant haters come to prove me wrong
Tell me I'm not nerdy enough to belong
I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing 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, is that your conclusion?
That this is some secret club based on exclusion?
12 year old dorks would say you're being selfish
And then they'd go write in their journals in Elvish
I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing to prove
*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 fanfiction 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 nothing to prove to a bully
I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing to prove
Haters are gonna hate
Nerds weren't mean they were weird and that worked for me
After ten years of teasing, when social skills failed me
Dungeons & Dragons cured all that ailed me
We read books
We played games
We made art
We watched Lost
We said things like D20, shipping, and mana cost
It felt good to be myself, not being mocked
Still self-concious though we whispered things about jocks
But one day you grow up
Come into your own
Now geek's not rejection
It's a label I own
Then ignorant haters come to prove me wrong
Tell me I'm not nerdy enough to belong
I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing to prove
Fake geek girl test? That's a funny one, go ahead
How many comic books are there I haven't read?

I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing to prove
I've got nothing to prove
Haters are gonna hate
