Jana Stanfield

Funny Professional Speaker. Multi-Platinum Songwriter. Life-Changing Adventurer.

Underachievers Anonymous

September 18, 2014 by Jana Stanfield

Jana Stanfield, Greg Tamblyn

I was afraid something was wrong with me
I wasn’t breaking my back to be all I could be
I was not worried sick about getting ahead
I was enjoying my life, having fun instead

I felt so alone, wanted someone to listen
Someone who’d support and not judge my condition
I finally found a group that said, “you’re just like us…
We’re underachiever’s anonymous.”
Yea, underachiever’s anonymous

Chorus:
We’ll give you support for not working too hard
Like nights or on week-ends, except in the yard
And you’ll always have a safe place to come to
When those pesky workaholics make fun of you
If they call you lazy, just call on us
We’re underachiever’s anonymous
Underachiever’s anonymous

Look around at your classmates, they’re all moving up
Working two jobs so they can buy more stuff
But I’d rather save my dollars and dimes
‘Cuz there’s nothing I could buy that’s worth more than free time

I was feeling so guilty, about my lack of motivation
And the fact that I always took all my vacation
And that two weeks a year never seemed like enough
I needed underachiever’s anonymous
Underachievers anonymous

Repeat chorus:

Bridge:
So if you feel ashamed, like you’re strange or kind-of funny
‘Cause you once turned down a harder job that paid more money
You think other people are looking at you skewed
‘Cause you sit down for your meals and actually chew your food
It may be hard to swallow, but you’re just like us
We’re underachievers’ anonymous

I wrote this song with my friend Greg Tamblyn, we were at the lake
We really intended to finish it, but then we took a break
