Youth is made of humongous ideas, high hopes, and a tough journey to make one's dreams a reality. "Overeducated. Under-stimulated" is a song made as a tribute to young dreams, knocking over every sense of doubt in the way and poking at all the times something has been called "Pie in the Sky."
"Overeducated. Under-stimulated" is the first single from Vincent Teetsov's genre-fusing, topsy-turvy 2021 album "The Place Called Home" — listen to the single here on Bandcamp and look out for its release on Spotify and beyond in the coming days!
lyrics
Overeducated.
Under-stimulated.
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I... You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you need a break!
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me... We, we, we, we, we, we, we...
Is our upbringing a mistake?
Brought our golden stars to interview,
Cherishing our sense of inspiration
A little too much.
We were told that we’re all special ones,
But then too hopeful for a better
Place… a living space.
Overeducated.
Under-stimulated.
Payed in our corporate entry fees.
Bunged it all for As not Cs.
Is this the means we’re working for?
Overeducated.
Under-stimulated
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I... You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you need a break!
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me... We, we, we, we, we, we, we...
Is our upbringing a mistake?
