What's the worst lyrics you've ever heard?

[guitarron]

That city was built upon the ashes of a once-respected band from the 60's.

TED - Please elaborate, would you. The shock was too awful at the time, perhaps I was missing something?

Jefferson airplane-err.. umm Starship-forgot it was the 80's-name had to be updated

Jefferson Airplane = Jefferson Starship = Starship = We Built This City on rock and roll = Starting with a delicious full course meal and ending up with puke.  A sad tale of what excessive drug intake will do to your mind.

*****I see Ron beat me to the punch here.

But I guess that's why they say / Every rose has its thorn / Just like every night has its dawn / Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song / Every rose has its thorn

"Every Rose Has Its Thorn" from Poison

[Saijinn Maas]

Was going to post a piece of this lyric, but after looking at it again, the whole song is pretty bad.

Although this band was one of my favorites, whose music was always better than their lyrics, I give you.... Ratt's "Round and Round"

Round And Round lyrics

Out on the streets, that's where we'll meet
You make the night, I always cross the line
Tightened our belts, abuse ourselves
Get in our way, we'll put you on your shelf
Another day, some other way
We're gonna go, but then we'll see you again
I've had enough, we've had enough
Cold in vain, she said

I knew right from the beginning
That you would end up winnin'
I knew right from the start
You'd put an arrow through my heart

(chorus)
Round and round
With love we'll find a way just give it time
Round and round
What comes around goes around
I'll tell you why

Dig

Lookin' at you, lookin' at me
The way you move, you know it's easy to see
The neon light's on me tonight
I've got a way, we're gonna prove it tonight
Like Romeo to Juliet
Time and time, I'm gonna make you mine
I've had enough, we've had enough
It's all the same, she said

I knew right from the beginning
That you would end up winnin'
I knew right from the start
You'd put an arrow through my heart

(chorus)

Out on the streets, that's where we'll meet
You make the night, I always cross the line
Tightened our belts, abused ourselves
Get in our way, we'll put you on your shelf

(chorus)

Round and round
With love we'll find a way just give it time, time, time, time
Round and round
What comes around goes around
I'll tell you why, why, why, why
Round and round

Yeah, I'll have to admit I like Ratt. I never really paid attention to the lyrics.

Same here - I prefer to have vocals in a song, but if somebody sang the recipe for chocolate cake I wouldn't know the difference  Maybe that's how Bernie Taupin flew under the radar for so long...

To quote one of the princes of vacuous lyrics:

Sometimes the lyrics are less important than the sound of a human voice.

I know - We could tear Yes apart lyrically, but they are one of my favorite bands of all time. Yes must be left alone  But you are so right...
