Worst Lyrics

[1234-5678 0]

Off the top of my head

 

"Can you take me higher/To a place where blind men see/Can you take me higher/To a place of golden streams"

 

So, he wants to go to a place with rivers of piss?

Linkin Park and any other lyrics that were apparently lifted from an 8th grade notebook

[Ripper 0]

There is absolutlely nothing wrong with Linkin Parks lyrics. They just are all about the same thing and it gets repetitve. But they actually do have pretty good lyrics.

No...they dont.

 

They are dull and childish...and entirely lacking in anything even resembling passion or real emotional impact.

 

Theyre written in that way to appeal to the lowest common denominator...

Kenny Chesney-"There Goes My Life." Every time I hear any part of that song, I groan audibly in pain.

Ever heard of a band called Cannibal Corpse? Terrible lyrics. Gore lyrics are good now and then...but overdoing them is bad. CC has made an entire 14-year career on them.

I dont think anyone really cares about Cannibal Corpse's lyricism...

 

I for one cant make any out anyway...its all about the violence....

Off the top of my head

 

"Can you take me higher/To a place where blind men see/Can you take me higher/To a place of golden streams"

 

So, he wants to go to a place with rivers of piss?

get the lyrics right first

 

 

it's

 

 

"Can you take me Higher/To a place where Blind men see/Can you take me higher/To a place with golden streets"

 

 

And that's not even NEARLY as bad as Linkin Park's 15 year old whiny bitch diary lyrics

 

 

"I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real

I wanna let go of the pain I’ve held so long"

 

"Discomfort,endlessly has pulled itself upon me

Distracting/reacting

Against my will i stand beside my own reflection

It's haunting how i can't seem..."

 

let's not forget this gem

 

"shut up when I'm talking to you

shut up, shut up, shut up

 

I'm about to BREAK"

 

 

Pretty Fucking Pathetic.

 

Although it's not Invisible Kid.

Anyway,

 

"You are the church, I am the steeple. When we fuck we're all God's people."

-Marilyn Manson, "Slutgarden"

 

Actually I love that line, but I love it because it is so incredibly asinine. That's the lyrical equivalent of slipping on a banana peel.

All Fefe Dobson lyrics. Totally uncreative.

"I'm gonna get free, ah'm ghonna get frae, 'm g'na get fhree, *incoherent gibberish*"

 

God I hate the Vines.

"I'm gonna get free, ah'm ghonna get frae, 'm g'na get fhree, *incoherent gibberish*"

 

God I hate the Vines.

I enjoy the Vines...

 

But I guess I dont really care much about the lyrical content in a 2 minute punky-rock song...

Weezer's lyrics to "Island in the Sun" always bothered me.

dont EVER say the vines are punky.

 

 

CREED is more punk then The Vines.

So, when is somebody going to try to be 'cool' and say Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, or Billy Corgan?....

[Nighthawk 0]

Well... a bustle in your hedgerow?

[Henry Spencer 0]

So, when is somebody going to try to be 'cool' and say Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, or Billy Corgan?....

 

Uh, actually...

I like Billy Corgan okay, for the most part, but:

 

"Emptyness is loneliness

And loneliness is cleanliness

And cleanliness is godlyness

And god is empty

Just like me."

 

is the most ridiculously over the top angsty lyric of all time, and it makes me laugh like a hyena. Although, he redeems himself with the awesome Cherub Rock.

[SamoaRowe 0]

Billy Corgan is one of my Gods. I worship him.

 

 

Bad lyrics? Let's do some finger pointing at the team of 50something year old Swedish men who write all of Britney Spears' material.

The Trees by Rush.

Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin

Dio lyrics

Dream Theater lyrics

[Guest frowned]

Lucky that my lips not only mumble

They spill kisses like a fountain

Lucky that my breasts are small and humble

So you don't confuse them with mountains

Lucky I have strong legs like my mother

To run for cover when I need it

And these two eyes that for no other

The day you leave will cry a river

 

-Shakira.

Actually I love that line, but I love it because it is so incredibly asinine. That's the lyrical equivalent of slipping on a banana peel.

And if you've listened to the entire album, which I'm almost certain you would have, you'd know perfectly well that a line such as that works brilliantly with the demeanor Manson has created for 'Golden Age of the Grotesque'.

 

Taking it out of context doesn't do Manson's brilliance any favours.

 

UYI

 

Pick any line from 'Me Against The Music' by Britters and Madonna and you're on a one way road to ear-bleed-ville.

Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin

Eh, at some point it became cool to dislike this song. Personally, I feel as a musical "journey" it is one of the best overall songs out there. The way Plant sings, the tempo speeding up slightly, Bonham coming in at just the right time with the drums, Page's unforgettable solo.

 

The prototype for every "epic" song out there.

 

Here's another shitty one.

 

"So go ahead and talk shit

Talk shit about me

Go ahead and talk shit

About my g-g-generation

 

Cause we don't, don't give a fuck, and

We won't ever give a fuck

Until you

You give a fuck about me

And my generation"-Limp Bizkit "My Generation"

 

Did Durst ever have potential? I mean c'mon, "Rearranged" wasn't that bad. Right?

First thought -- Sir Mix-a-Lot's Sprung on the Cat:

 

Followed her to a Motel

Yes motel, I'm too cheap for a hotel...

[godthedog 0]

woo hoo, yet another chance for me to pimp lynyrd skynyrd's modern patriotic classic, "red, white and blue."

 

and considering who wrote it, dylan's "gotta serve somebody" is pretty god damn bad.

 

"You may be an ambassador to England or France,

You may like to gamble, you might like to dance,

You may be the heavyweight champion of the world,

You may be a socialite with a long string of pearls

 

"But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed

You're gonna have to serve somebody,

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord

But you're gonna have to serve somebody."

 

and it goes on like that for SIX MORE DAMN VERSES. "masters of war" it is not.

 

while i'm at it, i'll throw in another lame ass song by a great songwriter, lennon's "crippled inside," which goes like:

 

You can shine your shoes and wear a suit

You can comb your hair and look quite cute

You can hide your face behind a smile

One thing you can't hide

Is when you're crippled inside

 

You can wear a mask and paint your face

You can call yourself the human race

You can wear a collar and a tie

One thing you can't hide

Is when you're crippled inside

 

and so on.

"You heard the soundtrack

Well now go buy the soft drink

Well, the onla cola that I support

True, you could pluck many such gems from the GA of G's lyrical hedgerow. I just particularly enjoy the line I quoted and you could probably sum up the spirit of the album with that one line (or maybe the chorus of "This Is the New Shit"). I like it's unmissable placement and repetion in the song... a lot of the great lyrics seem to kind of fly by, with a feeling of "Wait a minute... what the hell did he just say?" He's done better from an artistic standpoint, but for listening pleasure I think it's his best work.
