Lyrics:
Jump down the shelters to get away
The boys are cocking up their guns
Tell us general, is it party time?
If it is, can we all come?
Don't think that we don't know
Don't think that we're not trying
Don't think we move too slow
It's no use after crying
Saying Overkill
Overkill
Overkill
Overkill"

A lot of Men At Work's material dealt with isolation and loneliness. Emotional, intelligent without being preachy and uniquely Australian.

@@Mikee22ification look with in. But try think as what you are. A primate. And as a Primate we don’t be long in a cage four walls the hamster wheel of society. For when we fall of we see all of this stuff the material world was covering it all up because when it’s not there we feel lost empty scared. Alone. If something is telling you ain’t right then it probably isnt. Follow your animal instincts but know your self first and what it is that makes you feel this doubt or the feelings you have. Fear remember makes us move,,that animal instinct. Try find out why you feel this way and the over how society and the system of government the hamster wheel can add to this feeling in the end. After all we have but in to that system in eventually fails us in one way or another. So knowing one’s self first is key to knowing your friend like mine the black dog and trying find away live a normal life in a un normal world. And for me until those and the world around me change I’ll always feel ill. I see and feel to much but again if this is me why fight it,,don’t forget my black dog talks to me in either I fight or run,,,,and my dog tells me to fight for what’s right but it’s the world and it’s wrongs that add to my anxiety the way people treat each other hurts me so I hide. I am what I am and sadly I have accepted my friend my dog and to stand up to all the injustice that makes me feel sick to the stomach. Maybe I am delusional or maybe I see others don’t because of my friend my instinct not an anxiety as society would call it. Animals in the wild are happy than in a cage. A cage resulting in depression fear or anxiety what you want to call it. Forget the word find the cause of the pain that results in words. Words are our way of expressing. I hope some of my words help because I hate some of the feelings I get with anxiety it traps me my I live in four walls and I want out,,,but can’t until the world is rid of the nasty world it has become with selfishness and greed. The wrongs. I can’t be happy until the world is happy. Justice is true and suffering stops. My instinct telling me this ain’t a safe world,,,so change it. I ponder trapped with my thoughts on how to save my self by changing that suffering we all see and feel eventually. I’m sorry,,,but please your not alone,,,your you. Time is precious and so are you. So send that time on what matters most. For we can’t buy time. Spend it wisely,,and on those that need help within our community,,,my ape friend. Never leave on behind for he may on day become one’s enemy. And as I like to say as wise man never has an enemy. Peace.

This song has powerful meanings to me. My father showed this song to me when I was 9, but unfortunately he passed away when I was 13. A few years later I got diagnosed with some mental disorders, which never let me sleep me straight. So now, when I listen to this song, it's like my father is there, beside me, saying: "everything will be allright, it's just overkill."

This is my favorite Men At Work song. I was 14 when this was released in America, realizing that childhood was over, yet I wasn't an adult either. Old enough for bad memories, and to understand things were deeply dysfunctional where I was, but too young to do anything to be able to protect myself. I'm aware that this song is about Colin Hay's state at the time, but the line that grabbed me straightaway then was "at least there's pretty lights." So many nights I wanted to get out of the house and walk the streets downtown to be distracted by the lights, just to get away for a few hours and be let alone, but I couldn't because I was only 14. At least I could listen to this and other great songs on my contraband knock-off AM/FM Walkman late at night, and get a little respite.

I'm not sure from where you hail, mate but as an Aussie, my primary memory of "Down Under" (although I loved the song & used to regularly borrow my Aunt's MAW records to listen to them when I was only 8 or 9 in '81 or '82) was that it was used as the theme song for our victorious 'America's Cup' (which is the world's oldest operational sporting event, dating back to 1851) yachting team when we won it in 1983, after the New York Yacht Club had held it for the previous 132 years, since its inception...I'm not even an aquatic Aussie but this was a very big deal to our little country (re: population, not land mass) of only 15 million at the time - especially when the USA seemed such an invincible colossus, a behemoth back in the '80s - & our prime minster at the time, Bob Hawke went as far as saying that any employer who fired an employee for having taken the day off (following the surprise comeback victory in race 7 after awe trailed the series 3-1 & taking into account the time difference between Australia & New York, where it was held) to celebrate was a bum!! Jesus, talk about a massively verbose explanation of what was initially supposed to be a simple & succinct mention of how we Aussies from the '80s best remember "Down Under"!! Please accept my most sincere apologies, Clayton my dear man!! Matt. PS. But I always loved "Overkill" & "Who Can It Be Now" the most of MAW's most popular songs, btw...

As a fun loving kid, I really liked this song. I never knew or understand the meaning of it. Now I'm fifty I *LOVE* it. Now I understand the meaning of it because I'm living it first hand. Anxiety with depression is the worst feeling a person can go through.
