Lyrics
OVERKILL
Sometimes your grip just slips and you gotta let go
Ya don't give up the struggle and you'll never know
How good it can feel to be that free
Yea, what might happen if ya just stop trying?
Let it all go, and stop your whining and crying
It should be so much fun to see
Oh, don't you force that feeling home
Let it happen on its own
You know it will
Oh, there's something to say for being reflective
For learning to listen, being more receptive
It's lots of fun to lose control
So, why don't you try and take my suggestion?
You're pushing too hard in the wrong direction
It will leave you stressed and so confused
Oh, don't you force that feeling home
Let it happen on its own
I know it will
'Cause it's just overkill
Walk, don't run, you will get there still
No need for overkill
Oh, let gravity take us on an easy ride down the hill
(I) got to admit life is full of surprises
The stresses they come in all kinds of disguises
And catch you when you're least aware
So just relax, no use you trying to right it
Let it all happen, don't you try to fight it
Just let it flow and you'll get there
Don't you force that feeling home
Let it happen on its own
Oh, you know it will
'Cause it's just overkill
Walk, don't run, you will get there still
No need for overkill
Let gravity take us on an easy ride down the hill
Doobe doobe doo........(bridge)
'Cause it's just overkill
Walk, don't run, you will get there still
No need for overkill
Let gravity take us on an easy ride down the hill
Oh, it' s just overkill
Walk, don't run, you will get there still
No need for overkill
Let gravity take us on an easy ride down the hill
