Dear Tears for Fears:

Please rewrite your iconic (neurologist Judith Rapoport devoted an entire chapter to it when describing Obsessive Compulsive disorder-iconic) 80s song to include lyrics reflecting the following sentiments:

Everybody wants to give a TED talk;

Everybody wants to win a MacArthur Genius Grant;

Everybody wants to summer at McKinsey.

Sincerely,

/s/ Athena’s Mom
