Lyrics:
Verse 1: Only way to feel the noise is when it’s good and loud,
So good you can’t believe it screaming with the crowd

Pre Chorus: Don’t sweat it, get it back to you

Chorus: Overkill,  Overkill, Overkill

Verse 2: On your feet you feel the beat, it goes strait to your spine,
Shake your head you must be dead if it don’t make you fly,

Pre Chorus: Don’t sweat it, get it back to you

Chorus: Overkill, Overkill, Overkill

Verse 3: Know your body’s made to move, feel it in your guts
Rock ’N Roll aint worth the name if it don’t make you strut,

Pre Chorus: Don’t sweat it, get it back to you

Chorus: Overkill, Overkill, Overkill
