Crash Test Dummies - Overachievers lyrics

rate me

Long ago, a woman prayed that her suitors be

Repelled so she might serve God, be His only

God heard her prayers floating up and his heart was cheered

He rewarded her amply with a full beard

But then she wondered if she should start to take it easy

"Overachiever" might be putting it mildly

A student of behaviour psychology

Conditioned himself to stick to his studies

He grew tired of these routines and tried to drop them

But he was caught in his own trap and couldn't stop them

And then he wondered if he should start to take it easy

"Overachiever" might be putting it mildly

Once a man was determined to get into

The program for astronauts and go to the moon

Finally he was in space, saw the planet

Fear struck and he threw up inside his helmet

Then he wondered if he should start to take it easy

"Overachiever" might be putting it mildly
