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,
Overkill, 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,
Overkill, Overkill
Know your body's made to move, you 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,
Overkill, Overkill
So good you can't believe it's screaming with the crowd,
Don't sweat it, get it back to you,
Overkill, 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,
Overkill, Overkill
Rock 'n' roll ain't worth the name if it don't make you strut,
Don't sweat it, get it back to you,
Overkill, Overkill

overkill is a sick song

I wonder if the song's title has anything to do with the fact that the song features not one but two false endings.
I agree

great song to kick off the show.
so few comments for such a legendary song? you should see the live performance of this song- the one where they just jam for 8 minutes before finishing the song. the song itself is obviously about the andreline rush you get when you're on stage in front of the world. there aint any other way you can interpret the lyrics
LEMMY FREAKING RULES
This song is such a rush when you’re just coming up on speed
