When I was just a skinny boy
I had this puppy for a toy
When all the kids in town
Were swinging Apple-phones around
It seams I'd best keep up to date
Or Apple-nerds would seal my fate

I'm wanna be big
I'm wanna be bad
And hang out with the boys

So give me modern technology
It will make a man of me
Digitize my soul - let those computers take control
Just give me modern technology
A nerd is what I wanna be
So give me modern technology
It will make a man of me
Digitize my soul - let those computers take control
Just give me modern technology
A nerd is what I wanna be
So you wanna be a nerd, boy

One day I came to the machine
It stood there on the factory floor
It was the biggest thing I've seen
This must be 1984
The man said, son this is your place
Let's get some sweat there on your face

Ain't gonna do that - it's bad for your soul
We nerds need rock´n´roll
Get back to work, boy

So give me modern technology
It will make a man of me
Just give me modern technology
A nerd is what I wanna be
So give me modern technology
It will make a man of me
Digitize my soul - let those computers take control
Just give me modern technology
A nerd is what I wanna be

Just give me modern technology
Modern technology
So you wanna be a nerd, boy
Modern technology
Just give me modern technology
Just give me modern technology
