Overkill Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

Overkill 

By: Jimmy Buffett 

1996 

Legal problems gettin' thick and hazy 

Look at the people gettin' rich and crazy 

Locked up in mansions on the top of the hill 

Someone needs to tell them 'bout overkill 

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 

Ah uh 

Ah UH 

Ah uh 

Ah UH

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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" 

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 

Ah uh 

Ah UH 

WMR: 

Out in Hollywood the 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 

Photos 

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! 

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 

[ horn/pan break ] 

I got no corporate gig 

I got no guru (ah UH) 

I don't own ocean front in Honolulu (Ah uh) 

You write the big checks 

But I pay your bills 

Now someone's got to tell you 'bout overkill 

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 

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
