A Thread to Compile Cringe-Worthy Lyrics

This is a thread to compile lyrics that aren't particularly good on tracks you have liked or were interested in. I want to discover how certain language is shunned by society. Most of the music I find gets attacked is the industrial/goth variety. So let's discuss:

Dive - Machinegun Baby
"Use me like you never did before
Abuse me you little whore
Let me taste your burning flesh
Feed me with your killer breath"

This song has sick beats. I always played it loud by myself and enjoyed. However, I played this in my car and my friend started making fun of the lyrics being something a third grader wrote up. Eventually we all started laughing hysterically at the lyrics of the song.

Zeromancer - Something For The Pain
"Something for the pain inside me"

I cringe every time the chorus rolls around. It is tricky to mention being in pain in a song so directly but the "inside me" guarantees the lameness.

Libary Pictures by the Arctic Monkeys. The song itselfs is actually pretty great but the lyrics are nothing but class-A nonesense.

Library pictures of the quickening canoe,
The first of it's kind to get to the moon.
Draw some ellipses to chase you round the room,
Through curly straws and metaphors and goo.

Been watching all the neon blossom, flickering.
You look as if you've all forgotten, where you've been.
Going riding through the thunder suckle fuzz canyon.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4.
3, 2, 1.

Library pictures of the quickening canoe
The first of it's kind to get to the moon.
Give me an eeny, meeny miny moe.
Or an ipp dipp, dog-shit rock and roll.

Just about anything by Santa Hates You. I like the band, but their lyrics are extremely cheesy.

50% of the time that steve harris writes lyrics for an iron maiden song pretty much
dude doesn't even try to write choruses

also most of dave mustaine's lyricism for late-2000s megadeth. he's an idiot as a person anyway so i guess lines like "AM I COUGHING?" are to be expected

11th Dimension by Julian Casablancas is also pretty funny. He it kinda jumps from being deep to being nonesense from sentence to sentence. There are also some parts of the song obviously meant humorous like: "Where cities come together,
To hate each other in the name of sport."


" I just nod, Ive never been so good at shaking hands.
I live on the frozen surface of a fireball.
Where cities come together,
To hate each other in the name of sport.
America, nothing is ever just anything.
I looked up to you but you thought I would look the other way.
And you hear, what you want to hear.
And they take what they want to take.
Don't be sad, wont ever happen like this anymore.
So whens it coming? This last new great movement that I can join.
It won't end here.
Your faith has got to be greater than your fear.
Forgive them even if they are not sorry.
All the vultures, bootleggers at the door waiting.
You are looking, for your own voice but in others.
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/11th-dimension-lyrics-julian-casablancas.html ]
While it hears you trapped in another dimension.
Drop your guard, you dont have to be smart all of the time.
Ive got a mind full of blanks
I need to go somewhere new fast.
And dont be shy, oh no, at least deliberately.
Cause no one really cares or wonders why anymore.
Oh I got music come outta my hands and feet and kisses, whoo.
That is how it once was done.
All the dreamers on the run.
Forgive them even if they are not sorry.
All the vultures, bootleggers at the door waiting.
Were so quick to point our own flaws in others.
Complicated mammals on the wings of robots.

If you believe, in this world, No one has died in vain.
But don't you dare get, to the top, and not know what to do."
