Worst Lyric Ever?

To be the worst, they can't be just bad, but the lyrics must exude a certain level of pomposity and inanity... additions, anyone? http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/music/2007/05/whats_the_worst_song_lyric_eve.html

Fuck that... "Africa" is pretty much a perfect song.

All fall down, can't complain, mustn't grumble Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble I woulda loved this lyric if it was in a Pavement song.

How is "Generals gathered in their masses/just like witches at black masses" not the most perfectly evocative couplet in all of rock history? I mean, come on, dude. Seriously, though, Dylan's failure to use this couplet in masters of war led directly to his becoming born-again.

This is too boring to be the worst, but this is what popped into my head first (must've been this week's American Idol cameo - its like a car crash I know I shouldn't look but I always do anyway) I'll be there for you These five words I swear to you When you breathe I want to be the air for you I'll be there for you I'd live and I'd die for you Steal the sun from the sky for you Words can't say what a love can do I'll be there for you I think after or during the breakdown, Bon Jovi belts out the line "I Didn't Mean to Miss your Birthday, Baby" If we ever find and capture Osama Bin Mama, fuck Gitmo -> a good pair of advents, a cd with a "repeat" button, a multi-thousand watt receiver, and a lock on the outside of the door is pretty much all we'll need.

The Chili Peppers get worse and worse, like, to the point of insulting. "Hey oh... listen what I say oh I got your hey oh, now listen what I say oh" There's also that awful "Life is Beautiful" song were he starts doing some "The Gods Must Be Crazy" dialect crap. Painful.

I was gonna say something by Meat Loaf, but I take that back... I say it's "Murder By Numbers" by the Police. First lines: Once that you've decided on a killing First you make a stone of your heart And if you find that your hands are still willing Then you can turn a murder into art He pratters on like this for a while, then the payoff! Because its murder by numbers One, two, three Its as easy to learn as your abc Sting rhymes "ABC" and "123" while at the same time trying to sound all intellectual. What a cunt. The Supersuckers did this topic right: Just hop in the car And drive right through the door Hey, it's kinda fun killin' everyone at your favorite store Now, them's lyrics!

I was liked the "You're about as easy as a nuclear war" bit in the Duran Duran song. As far as Black Sabbath goes though, they have much worse like this gem from A National Acrobat on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath: "I've lived a thousand times I found out what it means to be believed The thoughts and images The unborn child that never was conceived"
