Overkill Songtext
von Jimmy Buffett

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

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

A-ah, a-ah
A-ah, a-ah

I went to find the truth in the Himalayas
Bundled up half-frozen munchin′ Milky Way-as
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

A-ah, a-ah


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

I got no corporate gig, I got no guru (a-ah)
I don't own ocean front in Honolulu (a-ah)
You write the big checks, but I pay your bills (a-ah)
Now someone′s got to tell you 'bout overkill (a-ah)

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
