All the geeks from high school

go on to become rock stars

All the others reach their peak

and then don't know who they are

You can always find them at

the bar downtown talkin' 'bout the old days

You bully boys would chase him

down the halls of that school

The teachers didn't care

'cause they all wished they were cool

You know you'd beat him senseless

if you could, and you always could

Kill the weak, lone star

We all want to be popular

Run him down and by some miracle

We will all become beautiful...

Then the day comes when you hear

his song on the radio

You realize he never made it to the

five-year reunion a few years ago

Where you sat back and drank a beer

to the old class geek who's probably queer

And the fat girl at the prom

the one who had her mother's dress on

She's smiling on the video

and you're the cashier down at the old Texaco

Kill the weak, lone star

We all want to be popular

Run him down and by some miracle

We will all become beautiful...

So you got the day off today from that job that you hate

Your ex-wife is leaving messages on your machine

about how your alimony payment is late

But the big arena's filling up for the show

and you and the boys are gonna go

Kill the weak, lone star

We all want to be popular

Run him down and by some miracle

We will all become beautiful...

Tell all the pretty girls in the beer line

how you are an old good friend of mine....
