Overkill
By: jimmy buffett
1996
Legal problems gettin' thick & hazy
Look at the people gettin' rich & 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 & 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 & 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 & 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 & shove too hard
You'll be pushin' up the daisies in the old boneyard

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 & 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 & shove too hard
You'll be pushin' up the daisies in some old boneyard
