Overkill

Overkill By: Jimmy Buffett, 1996


(1st Verse) Legal problems gettin' thick and hazy. Look at the people

gettin' rich and crazy.

Locked up in mansions on the top of a hill. Someone needs to tell them

'bout Overkill.


(1st Chorus) Overkill, Overkill -- such a megalo-modern problematic ill.

Climb too fast and shove too hard, you'll be pushin' up the daisies in the

old boneyard.


(4 bar turnaround) Ahh-ooh-ahh-ooh, ahh-ooh-ahh-ooh.


(2nd Verse) I went to find the truth in the Himalayas, bundled up,

half-frozen, munchin' Milky Way-uhs.

Found a shaman in a diaper with a poppy pot. When I asked if he was cold,

he said I just think hot.


(2nd Chorus) Overkill, Overkill -- such a megalo-modern problematic ill.

Climb too fast and shove too hard, you'll be pushin' up the daisies in some

old boneyard.


(4 bar turnaround) Ahh-ooh-ahh-ooh, ahh-ooh-ahh-ooh.


(Rap) Out in Hollywood where paper money rolls, they feed their egos

instead of their souls.

A million here, a million there, a mindless corporate dance.

Gettin' paid for fuckin' off in the South of France.


They don't do the shows, but they act like the stars.

They fly around in G-4's and suck on big cigars.

It ain't about the talent, it ain't about the skill.

It's all about the silly stupid horseshit deal!


(3rd Chours) Overkill, Overkill -- such a megalo-modern problematic ill.

Climb too fast and shove too hard, you'll be pushin' up the daisies in the

old boneyard.


(Instrumental Break)


(3rd Verse) I got no corporate gig, I got no guru (Wah-ooh). I don't own

oceanfront in Honolulu.

(Wah-ooh) You write the big checks, but I pay your bills (Wah-ooh). Now

someone's got to tell you 'bout Overkill.


(4th Chorus) Overkill, Overkill -- such a megalo-modern problematic ill.

Climb too fast and shove too hard, you'll be pushin' up the daisies in some

old boneyard


(Outro) Overkill, Overkill -- such a megalo-modern problematic ill.

Climb too fast and shove too hard, you'll be pushin' up the daisies in some

old boneyard.


(Wah-ooh) Instrumental outro.
