Jimmy Buffett - Overkill lyrics
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. (Transcribed by T.R. Violante from "Banana Wind" jacket |
