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
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
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
I don't own ocean front in Honolulu
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
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 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 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!
