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!
