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
