Conversation Piece - Music and Lyrics

Zune Social: tromboneforhire | By: Marques Lyons | 8/29/2009 |

As I was listening to music all this week, I was constantly thinking about lyrics. When you really pay attention to the words that some artists spit out some are absolutely awesome, then you have those lyrics that leave you scratching your head or lyrics that have you frantically reaching for the volume control.

Take for example one of my favorite lyrics from the song "Let it Rock" by Kevin Rudolf: "Because when I arrive, I will bring the fire. Make you come alive, I will take you highter!" Now that's quality lyrics folks. Contrast that with "Alright stop, collaborate and listen. Ice is back with a brand new invention" That's quality dreck, ladies and gentlemen -- at least I think so. How the hell do you stop, collaborate and listen, exactly?

There's a hashtag that's used on the Twitter (#lyrics) where people share some lyrics that they think are worth presenting to the world. Yet, I wanted to ask you guys here too:

What are some awesome (or not-so-awesome) lyrics that you've heard in songs?
