Whether it’s because you find them funny, can relate to them, or whatever.


Rage Against The Machine - Killin’ In The Name

Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me. (Repeat about 50 times)

Oasis - Live Forever

Maybe I just want to fly
I want to live I don't want to die
Maybe I just want to breath
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Tal Bachman - Aeroplane

Now I, I feel like an aeroplane above the rain
And I, I wont make the same mistakes I used to make
It was love and evolution
It was tearing it us apart
I prayed for a solution and I found it in your heart
Now I, I feel like an aeroplane above the rain
I can fly

Nas - Can't remember what specific song

My lyrics go over their head, like a bulimic on a seesaw.

[Brandon]

Bijou Phillips - I Never Shot The President

You tried
Lied
Gonna whip your back side
Down to the floor
Out the door
Don't come around here no more
What you sellin
I ain't buying
What? You talking?
Bitch, stop lying
I swear
I could care
Now I gotta go fix my hair

[Burke]

I'm gonna have to check that song out.

It wouldn’t be a music related thread without me bringing up Eminem, so…

Eminem - Underground

Captain of the cult with an elite following
To turn Halloween back to a trick or treat holiday
Have Micheal Myers lookin' like a liar, swipe his powers
Replace his knife with flowers and a stack of fliers
Hit Jason Voorhees with a 40
Stuck a suppository up his ass and made him tell me a story
Gave Hannibal Lecter a fuckin' nectarine
And sat him in a fuckin' fruit and vegetable section
And gave him a lecture
Walked up Elm Street with a fuckin' wiffle bat, Drew
Fought Freddy Krueger and Edward Scissorhands, too
And came out with a little scratch, ooh
Lookin' like I got in a fuckin' pillow fight with a triple fat goose

Eminem - Marshall Mathers

I'm anti-Backstreet and Ricky Martin
with instincts to kill N'Sync, don't get me started
These fuckin brats can't sing and Britney's garbage

[Brandon]

Trina - No Panties

Bitch you ain't gotta like me
Oh you his wifey?
I think your man like me
He had me in the car
With his hand on my bra
Breathing in my face
Saying TRI-NA
I ain't trying a disrespect
I'm just trying to keep you in check
See I ain't done yet
Shit, I'm the type of chick
Break up happy homes like Trick
Slow mo easy joe you're so and so
I'm a superwoman you don't know
Damn I look good
Talk trash in your hood
And if your man wont your Daddy would
Misunderstood
Slip and slide, Miss Trina
Been sold out the arena
Like a rock and roll singer
You hate me, you get the finger
All up in my gut playa what

lol, I'll obviously post more profound choices later.

[Burke]

Randy Savage - Be A Man

Be a man Hulk, come on don't be scurred
Your runnin' from Macho, that's what I heard
Be a man Hogan, come on don't be a chump
I never thought Hulk would go out like a punk
Be a man Hulk, come on don't be scurred
You're runnin' from Macho, that's what I heard
Be a man Hogan, boy you's a chump
Cuz Hulk Hogan is a real big punk

John Cena - Bad, Bad Man

Everything that I be spittin’ is strong
After I rock, fast forward through the rest of the song
We the monkey wrench, that's gonna ruin your plan
Don't fuck with John Cena, I'm a Bad, Bad Man

What?

[Astrozombie]

You've got to swim
And swim when it hurts
The whole world is watchin
You haven't come this far to fall off the Earth
The currents will pull you
Away from your love
Just keep your head above

Swim - Jack's Mannequin

I'm sorry I forgot your birthday
I'm sorry cause I'm a shitface
I thought it was on a Wednesday...a Monday... on a Tuesday
It's all the same to me
So what would make you happy?

Birthday - Quietdrive

You don't do it on purpose
But you make me shake
Now I count the hours 'til you wake
With your babies breath
Breathe symphonies
Come on sweet catastrophe
Well, maybe this time I can follow through
I can feel complete
Stop paying dues
Stop the rain from falling
Keep my ocean calm
This time I know nothing's wrong

Hurricane - Something Corporate

We never were
We'll never be
Strangers kissing in the pouring rain
Chasing after your leaving train
But we know that's not how our song goes

Our Song - The Spill Canvas

And I spot a little Latino, booty so big call it Oprah's ego.
We go to it, through it, she says, "Dios mio mi amigo!"
Pull it out, stick it in your mouth, and I bust in the back of ya.
Swallow bitch, there's people starving in Africa!

Have you been splattered before
By the mad-hatter matador?
Cake-batter never more
It don't matter whether you're
Spanish, French, Swedish or Cambodian,
I'll slime you so hard you could be on Nickelodeon.

Bo Burnham - Oh Bo

I might as well quote that whole damn song, it's ridiculous.

[Mutant Couch]

Are you a man now you wear a man's hat?
Are you a man now or are you a rat?
You go to church quiet as a mouse
You're a big cheese now in the workhouse
With these vulgar fractions of the treble clef
I wish you luck with a capital 'F'

Elvis Costello - Love Went Mad

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die"
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds w/ Kylie Minogue - Where the Wild Roses Grow

Moved out of the house, so you moved next door
I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone
You’re driving me crazy, when are you coming home

James - Laid

[Tarry]

KiD CuDi (featuring MGMT & Ratatat) - Pursuit of Happiness

I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold. I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good.

Tal Bachman - Aeroplane

I'm gonna show you, and you're gonna see. Everything you mean to me

[Brandon]

Nicki Minaj - Roman's Revenge

Is this the thanks that I get for puttin' you bitches on?
Is it my fault that all of you bitches gone?
Shoulda sent a thank-you note, you little ho
Now I'ma wrap your coffin with a bow
"Nicki, she's just mad 'cause you took the spot"
Word, that bitch mad 'cause I took the spot?
Well, bitch, if you ain't shittin', then get off the pot

[Brandon]

Nicki Minaj - Roman's Revenge

You play the back, bitch, I'm in the front
You need a job, this ain't cuttin' it
Nicki Minaj is who you ain't fuckin' with
You li'l brag a lot, I beat you with a pad-a-lock
I am a movie, camera block
You outta work, I know it's tough
But enough is enough

Upon further inspection, are we sure this song isn't about a certain Mrs. Brian Austin Green?

[Tiarnán]

Rufus Wainwright - In a Graveyard

Wandering properties of death
Arresting moons within our eyes and smiles
We did rest
Amongst the granite tombs to catch our breath

Worldly sounds of endless warring
Were for just a moment silent stars
Worldly boundaries of dying
Were for just a moment never ours
All was new
Just as the black horizons blue

Then along the bending path away
I smiled in knowing I'd be back one day

Tift Merritt - The Things That Everybody Does

Everybody told me,
This is who you have to be.
With my hands in my pockets deep as they’d go,
I walked home and packed up my cases to leave.

I searched all over the country.
I went down to the sea.
I talked a lot with the sun and sky.
I didn’t talk with anyone else really.

There are the things that everybody does.
I was wondering what was all the fuss.
I couldn’t tell exactly why it was,
Till there was you.

You found me up in attic,
Singing down to leaves.
You caught me reading love letters aloud,
To horses and children, to stars and to trees.

There are the things that everybody does.
I was wondering what was all the fuss.
I never knew exactly what it was,
Till there was you.

But a mountain is still a mountain.
A mountain goes to the sea,
No matter what I’d like to pretend,
No matter what I’d like it to be.

You know I don’t have to stay here.
I could fly off and leave,
On the wings from a unicorn’s breast,
With my typewriter strapped with diamonds to my chest,
But how could I go with breakfast not over yet?

These are the things that everybody does.
I was wondering what was all the fuss,
But what a lovely morning that it was
When there was you.

Mary Chapin Carpenter - 4 June 1989

I told them we heard singing first before we reached the Square
"Arise the wretched of the earth" filled the air
So many fists clenched to the sky we couldn't count them all
But then the sea of weeping washed over the Hall

I told them no one saw me, there was no one who would know
I was an army soldier dressed in students clothes
Between the smoking bonfires we held our rifles high
As the ashes of the banners soared into the sky

Ah, I was seventeen that spring
Ah, we were just obeying orders
Ah, I still see everything
Through the factory's yellow windows
In the dirty stinking river
In the messages that find you then vanish in the ether
They vanish in the ether:

I told them not to fear me but history tells the tale
The artists and the poets fill up every jail
Before I held a rifle I held an artist's brush
Before Tiananmen I even dreamed of love
Ah, I was seventeen that spring
Ah, we were just obeying orders
Ah, I still see everything
Through the factory's yellow windows
In the dirty stinking river
In the messages that found me, then vanished in the ether
In the messages that found me:.

I told them they'd see me walking in the rain
In Budapest, in Prague, in Soweto's lanes
Between the burning oil drums and the graffiti on the wall
I told them, yes I told them, I told them all

Ah, I was seventeen that spring
Ah, we were just obeying orders
Ah, and I still see everything
Through the factory's yellow windows
In the dirty stinking river
In the messages that find us, then vanish in the ether
Oh the messages will find us, then vanish in the ether

[Brandon]

Juelz Santana - Fat Bitch

She weighs four hundred (oh shit)
Four hundred and three
Oh she's a fat bitch
A fat bitch indeed

I dedicate these lyrics to Molly Holly.

[Burke]

The lyrics to this whole song basically. Some of it doesn't make sense, but God bless him for trying.

[Brandon]

TLC - Waterfalls

Dreams are hopeless aspirations
In hopes of comin' true
Believe in yourself
The rest is up to me and you

TLC - No Scrubs

So, let me give you something to think about
Inundate your mind with intentions to turn you out
Can't forget the focus on the picture in front of me
You as clear as DVD on digital TV screen
Satisfy my appetite with something spectacular
Check your vernacular
And then I'll get back to ya

[Burke]

It’s Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend, weekend
