text: worst lyrics ever? i want to know what you think are the worst lyrics you've ever heard in a song.  and not necessarily the whole song either - could be just a little part from an otherwise good lyric/song, but that little part is just awful.  also, why do you think those lyrics suck?  here are some of mine:  "after midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out after midnight, we're gonna shake, jump and shout" - eric clapton  um, how long did it take you to come up with that couplet, eric?  "nobody calling on the phone,  'cept for the pope maybe in rome" - joan osborne, "one of us"  i laughed out loud when i first heard that one.  desperate for a rhyme are we, joan?  "our house is a very very very fine house with two cats in the yard life used to be so hard" - csn&y  are you kidding me?  i love neil young and (some) csn, but i cringe whenever i hear this.  "freedom has a scent like the top of a newborn baby's head" - u2, "miracle drug"  um - it does?  what the hell does that mean, bono? what about jewell? "these hands are small i know, but they are not yours, they are my own" no shit. you hands are yours and not mine.
