Overachiever Lyrics - A Worm's Life - Crash Test Dummies

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 behavior 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
