Lyrics that annoy you
 
This one always pisses me off:

Kids, they don't know shit
They just want a hit
I don't write hits
I wonder what happened
Well you may wonder
Whatever happened
To the real songs

You can cry about the radio
Cry about the radio
But you know
Music's got no place to go

You can program it
Try to kill it
You can distill it
'Till there's nothin' left

And you can cry about the radio...



The most frustrating part is that the tune is rather catchy and the entire track is sonically appealing...but those lyrics really bug me. I hate when people talk about "real songs" as if they're the only ones who know what "good music" is. I hate people who whine about how modern radio sucks (radio has sucked for decades, and thanks to mix tapes/CD's/.mp3s you don't have to listen to it). I hate older folks who look down at the "kids" with their weird music (didn't your parents say the same thing when you listened to Elvis/The Rolling Stones/The Clash/etc?). You could even argue that adults want the "hits" more than the kids, who are generally more willing to try out more experimental music, but let's not get into that.

The line that really bugs me is "Music's got no place to go." The first time I heard that line, I thought it was a great double entrede. Then I realized how flawed it was. I figure that you can interpret that line two ways; A: There's no place to hear good music (one word: Internet), or B: Music is dead and there's no point in people making records (then why the song, which was released in 2007?). Either case suggests naivite (or ignorance) in the extreme.


End rant.

I hate the lyrics to most DRI songs because they consistently sound like they were written by a 12 year old. All of this is bad but the "a brain you don't own" line really takes the cake:

You're bothering me
For anything free
Why can't you see?

I'm out on a limb
My nerves are
stretched thin
You really don't win

Go die!

You seriously ask
For my autograph
I can't help but laugh

Just leave me alone
Why can't you go home
A brain you don't own

Go die!

Following me around
Just like a lost hound
And you're
bringing me down

I tell you goodbye
And you ask me why
Guess I'm just shy

Go die!

Wifey Boozer 08-30-2008 10:54 AM

^Lmao.

See now. I like the song Crazy Bitch. But the lyrics imply that he's only in it for a ****! It could be a really nice love song. :(

/sarcasm.

Pretty much every single MC Lars songs infuriates me. They're so incredibly ironic and not in the cool Stephin Merritt way.

Ace 08-30-2008 05:56 PM

Meh. Metallica's Invisible Kid....

Invisible kid,
Never see what he did
Got stuck where he hid
Fallen through the grid


I love em' to death, but Hetfield really pulled that one right out of his arse.

Iron Maiden - Aces High

There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak
Out for the scramble weve got to get airborne
Got to get up for the coming attack.

Jump in the ****pit and start up the engines
Remove all the wheelblocks theres no time to waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Gotta get airborne before its too late.

Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Run, live to fly, fly to live. aces high.

Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers
Let off a sharp burst and then turn away
Roll over, spin round and come in behind them
Move to their blindsides and firing again.

Bandits at 8 oclock move in behind us
Ten me-109s out of the sun
Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them
Heading straight for them I press down my guns

Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Run, live to fly, fly to live, aces high.

i used to love that song....

15Steps 08-30-2008 07:11 PM

I intentionally wrote it out
to be an illegible mess

the opening lyrics to death cabs "information travels faster".

love the song, its great, but that line is quite annoying the way he delivers it.

Ace 08-30-2008 08:02 PM

Seriously? He needs to break him over the head with his guitar then.

Hetfield = lyrics
Kirk = lead guitar

Keep it that way =|

Though I can usually forgive the downright awfulness of ELP lyrics (still a fan of em) this one really bugs me.

The Only Way

People has stirred moved by the word.
Kneel at the shrine, deceived by the wine.
How was the earth conceived? Infinite space.
Is there such a place? You must believe in the human race.

Can you believe, God makes you breathe.
Why did he lose six million Jews.

Touched by the wings, fears angel brings
Sad winter storm, grey autumn dawn
Who looks on life itself, who lights your way?
Only you can say. How can you just obey?
His the only way.

Don't heed the word, now that you've heard.
Don't be afraid: man is man made.
And when the our comes, don't turn the away.
Face the light of day. And do it your away.
His the only way.




What the f*ck is that bullsh*t? Why did God lose six million Jews? Are you kidding me?

You must believe in the human race? Man is man made? All I can say is thank god they eventually got Peter Sinfield to contribute lyrics, at least his lyrics seemed to have a self awareness of how ridiculous they were, Lake's were just f*cking horrible.

The Unfan 08-30-2008 11:21 PM

Pretty Fly For A White Guy by Offspring is pretty dumb, but the one line that really bugs me is "But in his own mind he's the dopest trip."

boo boo 08-30-2008 11:39 PM

I'm sure the lyrics to Love Beach are even worse, but I don't want to revisit that.

I HATE kids at my school. The above lyrics explain why. And so many ask why hip-hop is dead. When a genre of music starts making songs about fapping, it's doomed.

Soul Asylum - Misery

They say misery loves company
We could start a company and make misery

Frustrated, Incorporated
Well I know just what you need
I might just have the thing
I know what you'd pay to see

Put me out of my misery
I'd do it for you, would you do it for me
We will always be busy making misery

We could build a factory and make misery
We'll create the cure; we made the disease

Frustrated, Incorporated
Frustrated, Incorporated
Well I know just what you need
I might just have the thing
I know what you'd pay to feel

Put me out of my misery
All you suicide kings and you drama queens
Forever after happily, making misery

Did you satisfy your greed, get what you need
Was it only envy, so empty

Frustrated, Incorporated
Frustrated, Incorporated

Frustrated, Incorporated (put me out of my misery)
Frustrated, Incorporated (I'd do it for you, would you do it for me)
Frustrated, Incorporated (forever after happily)
Frustrated, Incorporated (making misery)

Robbie Williams - Radio

He's chosen my attic
I feel it in the static
He lives in my basement
And I can hardly face it
My performance is easy
I am the god of romance
And in my confusion
I have the right to reign

WTF?

The rest of the song is great, but that line is annoying, and horribly written.

Oasis - Supersonic:

I need to be myself
I can't be no one else
I'm feeling supersonic
Give me gin and tonic

You can have it all but how much do you want it?
You make me laugh
Give me your autograph
Can I ride with you in your B.M.W ?
You can sail with me in my yellow submarine



Oasis - Champagne Supernova:

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball

Where were you while we were getting high?

The King of the Lads was never renowned for his lyrical content. I still don't know how they ever got so popular in Britain.

Zer0 09-02-2008 03:02 AM

All of U2's Elevation:

High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here


At corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse
You elevate my soul


I've got no self control
Been living like a mole now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation

A star
Lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you can educate my mind


Explain all these controls
Can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation


A mole
Digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation


I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation


Love
Lift me up out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true
I believe in you


A mole
Digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation


Higher now
In the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high
Elevation


Elevation
Elevation
Elevation
Elevation




Most annoying song ever!

"Photograph"

Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey's head

And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out

And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times

I wonder if it's too late
Should i go back and try to graduate
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.

Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They say somebody went and burned it down

We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel

Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since god knows when

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.

I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it

If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.

Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
Everytime I do it makes me...
