I was yearning for a snack
but I didn't wanna chat
so, I opened up the app
to be sure

That I tapped the right box
indicating "knock knocks"
and then leave the snacks by the door

Got the MSNBC
with the man on the TV
Sayin' how the world's about to bend

So I fiddle with my 'puter
talkin' to my man Jooter
'til I tell my computer to end

Now I'm sittin all alone
with my blanket and my phone
on the social interaction web

I read a few facts
Did some jumping jacks
And I willed myself to be dead

I smoked a little of Sneezle
and I took a bit of Freezle
and I saw a goddamn parade

it felt almost as good as an av-er-age day
from when I was in 11th grade

Well whatever doesn't kill you,
while it surely didn't kill you,
well-it might have made you not your best

Knock knock! The Nostalgia police
gonna place that development under arrest


Back when I was thinner I was cuter
Spending all my free time with my personal computer
And it got a little faster from the days of my Compaq
Man iTunes started launching but they don't got my tracks yet
And all the free time, it kinda went away
Used to dream about this day when I'd finally get paid
Back then I had more time to really truly be devoted
Made cartoons on disappointments over The Matrix Reloaded but I
Started learning what I'm put on this earth for
That's when I heard about this brand new thing they call nerdcore
I spent my time just tinkering with tools in the late night
Found some friends who thought the same and made it my whole life
Shoutout to the strangers who I met in a chat
Thank you mom for funding every single thing that I had
Looking back it may seem better with those times that you had but
They're banging on the door, come on out with your hands up

Well whatever doesn't kill you,
while it clearly didn't kill you,
well-it might have made you not your best

Knock knock! The Nostalgia police
gonna place that development under arrest

From time to time
(I can't go back to the past)
I think back and remember what it all was like
(I can't go back to the past)
And I reminisce, but not too much
(I can't go back to the past)
The Nostalgia Police has time handcuffs
(I can't go back to the past)

do do do do do
