"Best lyrics of the twentieth century"

its gotta be something from lennon, Morrison, or richey edwards

What about Ben Folds, Rockin' the Suburbs - "Look out 'cos I'm about to say f**k"

Brilliant song, rips apart Fred Durst and his entourage of second rate Nirvanas spectacularly.

Meh@Solskjaer_24. I will!

If I say F--k two more times, that's 46 f--k's in this f--ked-up rhyme.

:D

I hate Kid Rock (the 'so-called' artist)! All his songs are about himself!! What's the point when no-one likes you!

I reccomend 'Limp Bizkit - Hot Dog' for it's lyrics. It's just funny the first time you hear it! It's on their 'Chocolate St*rfish & The Hot Dog Flavoured Water' album. I won't repeat the lyircs here due to their content!

how about "daylight bores the sunshine out of me"? by richey edwards
or "baby on board... something something...burt ward"?by homer simpson?

This one is for Rasta!

Electioneering

I will stop, I will stop at nothing
Say the right things, when electioneering I trust I can rely on your vote
When I go forwards, you go backwards, somewhere we will meet
When I go forwards, you go backwards, and somewhere we will meet

Riot shields, voodoo economics, it's, it's just business
Cattle prods and the IMF, I trust I can rely on your vote.
When I go forwards, you go backwards, somewhere we will meet
When I go forwards, you go backwards, somewhere we will meet

Karma Police

Karma Police, arrest this man, he talks in maths
He buzzes like a fridge, he's like a detuned radio
Karma Police, arrest this girl, her hitler hairdo, is making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party
This is what you get, this is what you get
This is what you get, when you mess with us

Karma Police, I've given all I can, it's not enough
I've given all I can, but we're still on the payroll
This is what you get, this is what you get
This is what you get, when you mess with us
And for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself
And for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself

For a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself

Also to be of mention are U2 and Counting Crows :D

"Splish-splash I was taking a bath"

Green Day - Good Riddance ( time of your life)

Another turning point
A fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist
Directs you where to go
So make the best of this test
And don't ask why
It's not a question
But a lesson learnt in time.

It's something unpredictable
But in the end its right
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs
And stil frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf of good health
And good time
Tattoos of memories
And dead skin on trial
For what its worth all the while
I hope you had the time of your life.

Do I sense the tiniest hint of sarcasm there? No? Sorry, my mistake.

I vote Kid Rock! Who can deny the lyrical genius of this American music sensation:

"I take the PUNK ROCK!!
mix it with the HIP HOP!!
take you higher than TREE-TOP!!"

It rhymes. It's rhythmically sound. HE is quite clearly a paragon of intlligence in the jock rock community.

I wish I could write lyrics that deep.

Hey hey now what's that smell?
Just like cornbread done too well
What you need you know I got
So hands up, who wants to rock?
