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
Youll 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
Youll 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 dont do the shows
But they act like the stars
They fly around in g-4s and suck on big cigars
It aint about the talent
It aint about the skill
Its all about the silly stupid horseshit deal!
Overkill, overkill
Such a megalo modern problematic ill
Climb too fast and shove too hard
Youll be pushin up the daisies in the old boneyard
[ horn/pan break ]
I got no corporate gig
I got no guru (ah uh)
I dont own ocean front in honolulu (ah uh)
You write the big checks
But I pay your bills
Now someones got to tell you bout overkill
Overkill, overkill
Such a megalo modern problematic ill
Climb too fast and shove too hard
Youll be pushin up the daisies in some old boneyard
Overkill, overkill
Such a megalo modern problematic ill
Climb too fast and shove too hard
Youll be pushin up the daisies in some old boneyard
Jimmy Buffett (1946-2023) was an American singer-songwriter, musician, and author known for his "Parrothead" style of music, which blends elements of country, folk, rock, and calypso. Born in Pascagoula, Mississippi, Buffett spent his childhood in various locations across the United States before settling in Key West, Florida, where he began his musical career in the 1970s. His success is attributed to songs like "Margaritaville", "Come Monday", and "Cheeseburger in Paradise", which made Buffett a cultural icon associated with a relaxed and idyllic atmosphere. Besides music, Buffett wrote several novels and non-fiction books, including the bestseller "A Pirate Looks at Forty". His music and personality inspired a large fan base, the "Parrotheads", who celebrate simple living and a love for vacations. Buffett died in 2023 at the age of 76.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
