Do it again, do it again, just for the make sure of it
Twist it twice and make it right just for the hell of it
A job twice done is a mindset for the best
Lets just call it overkill
All our minds at rest

Overbake it for the shear defiance of it
I know what’s best even if you don’t believe me for it
A job twice done is a mindset for the best
Let’s just call it overkill
Never to be put to the test

Adding the cuts to the film ever though its finished
Leave them to the floor and best left banished
A job twice done is a mindset for the best
Let’s just call it overkill
Now torn to pieces by the press

Overkill is for the masters of nothing
If they cannot see what’s not needed,
then on their head be it
Sometimes you must leave what’s supposed to be
Not straining for that extra clip-it
