Overkill Lyrics


Jimmy Buffett Overkill

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 bone yard

Ahh uhh
Ahh uhh
Ahh uhh
Ahh uhh

I went to find the truth in the Himalayas
Bundled up half-frozen munchin' Milky Ways
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 bone yard

Ahh uhh
Ahh uhh

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 f..ckin' 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 horse shit 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 bone yard

I got no corporate gig, I got no guru
I don't own ocean front in Honolulu
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 bone yard

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 bone yard
