Yesterday we were to make the first real recording of vocals for “Underachievers”. Since my new writing method is “stream of consciousness” I took about 30 minutes to jot down some lyrics for the song in the “studio” while Anders worked on some guitar parts to possibly be added later.
These are the lyrics that were recorded last night in the first vocal takes. I’m not sure whether they will last or if I’ll be making some changes if we decide to record more vocals later.
Stick to my guns in a tough situation
Waiting for someone to lead the way out
And I believe it is your time to show me
Got nothing left a bundle of doubtI’m a believer in underachievers
Working so hard while we wait to be told
Inside and out we are hard-core believers
Taking it slow while we wait for the goldSo I’ve been thinking and I’ve got my reasons
Looking to you for the easy way out
Don’t hesitate while I watch you deliver
I’ll be around either with or withoutTaking a bow for the underachievers
This is the life I have chosen for me
Inside and out I’m a hard-core believer
Taking it slow while you work to be free
