Wake up, America,
before it’s too late.
Wake up, wake up.
I learnt the art of loving from high school movies.
Hence, I find myself in something of a quandary:
where to sit in the cafeteria, i.e.
with which clique, with which clique?
Naturally drawn to the geek table,
and persecuted by the principal,
who resents my idiosyncrasies,
my idiosyncrasies,
I nevertheless have a plan to win your heart,
a plan to win your heart.
I feel an image revamp coming on,
I feel an image revamp coming on:
overnight, thrifty, ingenious.
I’m a bit of a weirdo,
I’m a bit of a weirdo.
But then, underneath,
So are you, so are you.
I’m going into the heart of America!
Oh, I’m biting the bullet—
I’m going into the heart.
Speak to me.
If only you’d speak to me.
Swim with me in the moonlight.
At the prom in a fortnight’s time,
there will be a showdown,
there will be a showdown.
The regrettable trashing of my father’s car;
my rivalry with the football star;
no more humiliation in the locker room.
I feel a training montage coming on,
I feel a training montage coming on.
I’m a bit of a weirdo,
I’m a bit of a weirdo.
But then, underneath,
So are you, so are you.
I’m going into the heart of America!
Oh, I’m biting the bullet—
I’m going into the heart.
Speak to me.
If only you’d speak to me.
Swim with me in the moonlight.
I’m taking off my specs:
I’m walking in slo-mo.
Wake up, America,
before it’s too late.
Wake up.
