Lyrics
Overkill
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Only way to feel the noise is when it's good and loud
So good you can't believe it's screaming with the crowd
Don't sweat it, get it back to you
Don't sweat it, get it back to you
Overkill...
On your feet you feel the beat, it goes straight to your spine
Shake your head, you must be dead if it don't make you fly
Don't sweat it, get it back to you
Don't sweat it, get it back to you
Overkill...
Know your body's made to move, feel it in your guts
Rock 'n' roll ain't worth the name if it don't make you strut
Don't sweat it, get it back to you
Don't sweat it, get it back to you
Overkill...
