Nerd Versus Jock - MC Frontalot

I’m not saddened to describe: you never mattered to me much

You were the beautiful ones on the schoolyard

Who were quick with a punch

Who were fast to point a flincher out for ridicule and derision

Who could operate athletic equipment with all precision

Who held no superstition about doing unto others

Therefore I just avoided you.

Jackets in school colors

Weren’t difficult to spot you in. Don’t associate — solved

In fact, in retrospect, you barely bothered me at all

So I bear you no ill will, our eternal rivalry notwithstanding

You were always the IBM;

I was always the Tandy

Any nerd who couldn’t accept the social order was a cur

Other nerds would ostracize him.

Yet all agreed: we knew for sure

That US > YOU, despite appearance

Look at now: demand for nerds.

Old jocks: stock on clearance

Scratch potbellies and weep about the elbow and the wife

I guess I am a little saddened to describe you

But I’m going to be all right

It’s cool

I’m not going blame you for saddening me
