Down with the Nerd Herd

Lyrics

[Intro] (Drum fill: Snare-heavy march that breaks into a swinging ride cymbal. A distorted guitar plays a bluesy riff that is immediately doubled by a brass section.)

[Verse 1] I survived the locker rooms and the cafeteria glares I built a kingdom out of code and old computer spares I marched to a drummer that only I could hear Thinking once I found my people, the coast would finally clear But I traded in the letterman for a different kind of snob Who treats a niche opinion like a full-time office job.

[Pre-Chorus] (Brass hits: Pa-pa-pa-POW!) You’re checking my credentials You’re auditing my soul You’re just a playground bully In a pocket-protector role!

[Chorus] So down with the Nerd Herd, down with the gate I didn’t break the mold just to watch you calibrate My passion isn’t product, my hobby isn't trend I don't need a committee to tell me how to spend My time, my tech, or my own damn words Yeah, I’m done with the flock—Down with the Nerd Herd!

[Verse 2] "Well actually," you say, with a sneer behind the glass If it isn't "purest" Linux then you're gonna let it pass? You’re elitist about the chipset, you’re a titan of the thread But you’re just a carbon copy of the bullies that we fled I’m running custom workflows, I’m building out the lab While you’re busy measuring the stitches on a tab.
