Overkill


Overkill By: Jimmy Buffett1996

(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) OverkillOverkill -- such a megalo-modern problematic ill.
Climb too fast and shove too hardyou'll be pushin' up the daisies in the
old boneyard.

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

(2nd Verse) I went to find the truth in the Himalayasbundled up
half-frozenmunchin' 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) OverkillOverkill -- such a megalo-modern problematic ill.
Climb too fast and shove too hardyou'll be pushin' up the daisies in some
old boneyard.

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

(Rap) Out in Hollywood where paper money rollsthey feed their egos
instead of their souls.
A million herea million therea mindless corporate dance.
Gettin' paid for fuckin' off in the South of France.
They don't do the showsbut they act like the stars.
They fly around in G-4's and suck on big cigars.
It ain't about the talentit ain't about the skill.
It's all about the silly stupid horseshit deal!

(3rd Chours) OverkillOverkill -- such a megalo-modern problematic ill.
Climb too fast and shove too hardyou'll be pushin' up the daisies in the
old boneyard.

(Instrumental Break)

(3rd Verse) I got no corporate gigI got no guru (Wah-ooh). I don't own
oceanfront in Honolulu.
(Wah-ooh) You write the big checksbut I pay your bills (Wah-ooh). Now
someone's got to tell you 'bout Overkill.

(4th Chorus) OverkillOverkill -- such a megalo-modern problematic ill.
Climb too fast and shove too hardyou'll be pushin' up the daisies in some
old boneyard

(Outro) OverkillOverkill -- such a megalo-modern problematic ill.
Climb too fast and shove too hardyou'll be pushin' up the daisies in some
old boneyard.

(Wah-ooh) Instrumental outro.
