all the korn lyric quoting got me laughing, and thinking.

i would really like to laugh some more at bad lyrics! try not to think too hard on this, but just submit lyrics for a song that you think of as having some of the worst lyrics ever.

i submit to you all,

I love the way you look at me
I feel the pain you place inside
Lock me up inside ya dirty cage
While I’m alone inside my mind

I like to teach you all the rules
I’d get to see them set in stone
I like it when you chain me to the bed
There ya secrets never shone

[chorus]
I need to feel you
You need to feel me
I can’t control you
You’re not the one for me, no

I can’t control you
You can’t control me
I need to feel you
So why’s it involve

I love the way you rape my skin
I feel the hate you place inside
I need to get your voice out of my head
Cause I’m the guy you’ll never find

I’m faking all of the rules
There’s no expressions on your face
I’m hoping some day you will let me go
Release me from my dirty cage

[chorus]
I need to feel you
You need to feel me
I can’t control you
You’re not the one for me, no

I can’t control you
You can’t control me
I need to feel you
So why’s it involve...you and me..

[repeat 4x]
I love the way you look at me
I love the way you smack my ass
I love the dirty things you do
I have control of you

[chorus]
I need to feel you
You need to feel me
I can’t control you
You’re not the one for me, no

I can’t control you
You can’t control me
I need to feel you
So why’s it involve you and me..

[repeat 4x]
You’re not the one for me, no

Interpol- Obstacle 1. Ouch.

It's in the way that she poses
It's in the things
That she puts in my hair
Her stories are boring and stuff
She's always calling my bluff
She puts the, she puts the weights
Into my little heart
And she gets in my room
And she takes it apart
She puts the weights
Into my little heart
I say she puts the weights
Into my little heart

She packs it away

It's in the way that she was
Her heaven is never enough
She puts the weights in my heart
She puts the, she puts the weights
Into my little heart

Ha! I like those Interpol lyrics... I disagree with you.

Bad lyrics, hmmmm... I think Pulseprogramming had a track where they said 'I am broken wind' -- that was pretty bad...

Smile Empty Soul, one hit wonder nu-metal shitheads from a couple years ago, offer up this:

"All My Problems"

by now
i should have been somwhere
or gone to school, or fixed my hair
back down
tell it to someone else
who gives a shit and needs your help

cos i found
what i needed
and i don't need you to tell me how you feel
and if i fall
you are not the one that has to cope and deal

all my problems are for me

my god
look at his tattoos and those earrings
he could never get
a good job
go home and beat your kids
so they don't turn out as bad as me

cos i found
what i needed
and i don't need you to tell me how you feel
and if i fall
you are not the one that has to cope and deal

all my problems are for me
i don't need your eyes to see
i will be what i will be

stop coming around cause you bother me
stupid mutherfucker pull your head out your ass and see
what don't you get, was i stuttering
i don't need to take your shit get away from me

Also, on the subject of puddle of mudd:

"Freak Of The World"

Dont want the sun to shine upon my face
And i see your eyes and their glazy haze
Your lips dont move
But i hear what you're saying
I look outside through the razor blades

And i crawl and i scrape and i feel for you
But there's nothing
There's nothing that i can do
Im a freak
Im the freak of the world
Im a freak
Freak of the world

Stars are shining oh so bright
And i dont think everything's alright
And i can't wake up
Cuz i dream all night
Yeah you're in my way
And i can't get bye

And i beg and i cheat and i steal for you
But there's nothing
There's nothing that i can do
Im a freak
Im the freak of the world
Im the freak of the world
Im the freak of the world
And there's nothing i can say
And there's nthing you can do
And there's nothing i can say or do

Dont want the sun to shine upon my face
And i see your eyes and their glazy haze
Your lips dont move but i hear what you're saying
I look out side through the razor blades
And i try
(through the razor blades)
And i scream
(through the razor blades)
I can see your face

Im the freak of the world
Im the freak of the world
Im the freak of the world
And there is nothing i can say
And there is nothing you can do
And there is nothing i can say or do
Caz im the freak of the world
Im a freak
Of the world

on personal note: The Puddle of Mudd song "she hates me" is the worst song i've ever heard in my life.

you LIKE the Interpol lyrics??? wha wha whaaat??? Have you read them and allowed their vapidity to roll around in your brain?
They are right up there with New Order in my book of most cringe-worthy, meaningless, pretentious lyricists of all time. And I'm including dreck like Styx and Rick Springfield. Here's some more samples for you:

"We steps into the bedroom, babe,
you know me and this is all right.
Holdings we’ll make soon
will sustain us through the night."
-NARC

“She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kid gloves,
But she doesn’t know I left my urge in the icebox.â€

I think this is the worst song I have ever heard. It is the worst guitar sound I have ever heard. And the lyrics...so so bad! And the delivery...so so bad that it makes me physically ill. It's amazing!

Scars
by Papa Roach

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
My scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I'm pissed cause you came around
Why don't you just go home
Cause you channel all your pain
And I can't help you fix yourself
You're making me insane
All I can say is

[Chorus:]
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That you're drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassions in my nature
Tonight is our last stand

[Chorus]

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You shouldn't ever came around
Why don't you just go home?
Cause you're drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
And I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
But you didn't understand
Go fix yourself

I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life

[Chorus x2]

[quote="bugs"]...at least until your fourth “greatest hitsâ€

Drops Of Jupiter
by Train wrote:
1.
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey

Chorus 1
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
Chorus 2
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

2.
Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there's room to grow, hey, hey

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land

Chorus 3
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
Chorus 4
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

3.
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me

[Repeat Chorus 3]
[Repeat Chorus 1]

While not every line is a clunker, some of the "wordplay" is more agonizing than a hundred TMBG clones could ever come up with.

Shit, I may have gave some of you an idea.

ah yes, that would have been another top choice of mine!!! i used to work at officemax a few years ago, and they played this song on soft rock station there all the time. i remember i used to get pissed and kick around boxed-up desk furniture in back whenever songs like that came on. that had to be the easiest job i've ever worked.

Here's one I'm not sure of: is it clever or retarded?

"Flavor Of The Weak" - American Hi-Fi

(Just the chorus)
Her boyfriend
He don't know
Anything about her
He's too stoned
Nintendo
I wish that i could make her see
She's just the flavor of the week

Wow, that's a gutsy rhyme! Ugh.
