When I was kid only nerds had computers
Now you've all got one in your homes
The fantasy genre was strictly for saddos
Now you're all watching “Game of Thones”
Comic books were for loser virgins
Now “Avengers” are the kings of the screen
And growing up and becoming a wizard
Is no longer just the weird kid's dream

Dressing as elves, fighting battles at weekends
Was once a preserve of the few
Now you're all going to ComicCon and cosplaying Deadpool
Watching let's plays and “Doctor Who”
We texted each other in chat rooms, now
In your pocket there's a link to the world
You laughed at our role-playing gaming adventures
Now we're online kicking ass with the girls

CHORUS
So, bow down before us, you pitiful mortals
The geek have inherited the earth
Write us a fourteen-hour D&D campaign
Test your mettle, show us what you are worth
Bow down before us, you miserable wretches
It's easy now, don't make a fuss
Come over to the “dark side” and you'll find we're nicer
To you than you ever were to us

Wizards and orcs were for oddballs and dweebs
Yet you all queued for “Lord Of The Rings”
Horror was just for the creep and the loner
Now you're all hooked on “Stranger Things”
“Star Trek” was once for the dateless and awkward
Till you saw Cumberbatch playing Khan
And dystopian sci-fi was favoured by thinkers
But you shat when “The Matrix” came on

CHORUS
So, bow down before us, you laughable weaklings
The geek have inherited the earth
Build us a redstone calculator in “Minecraft”
Step right up, show us what you are worth
Bow down before us, you inferior beings
There's really nothing left to discuss
Come over to the “dark side” and you'll find we're nicer
To you than you ever were to us

It's not that we're angry, resentful or bitter
It's just that we bear many scars
We're not seeking vengeance, we're just saying that you
Should behave now that we are in charge!

CHORUS
So, bow down before us, you ungrateful bastards
Or we'll cripple the internet
We built all the cool stuff you love and rely on
And don't you ever bloody forget
Alright, so, we're joking, we understand well
It can't be easy to admit you were wrong
But, if you stop being arseholes, you're welcome to join us
Share our toys, and we can all get along
