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

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

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
