The Overachievers Lyrics

    Five... four... three... two... one... zero... ignition...

    Long ago, a woman prayed that her suitors be
    Repelled so she might serve god and be his only
    God heard her prayers floating up and his heart was cheered
    He rewarded her amply with a full beard

    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

    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 and 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
