Lyrically Good Artists/Tracks

[LowRider]

We all know hiphop can produce inspirational lyrics (Nas, I.T etc etc) but what other artists do it? Madonna can do some pretty nice stuff (i like Frozen), thats the only one i can think of at the moment.

wth do you guys not see non hip-hop? *smh*


Bob Dylan was a genuis when it came to burying drug refernces in his lyrics.

most emo bands have really good lyrics..

Taking Back Sunday
Straylight Run
Funeral For A Friend
Senses Fail
Something Corporate
Jimmy Eat World

then theres always a genuis from Black Flag named Henry Rollins who has the Rollins Band.. with such songs as Liar.. i swear if youve never heard that song you only need to hear it once to know what im saying when i say TALENT.

ill look for my disc and rip it and post it... but for now.. you get lyrics, for those who dont kno.




You think youre gonna to live your life alone
In darkness
And seclusion
Yeah I know
Youve been out there
Tried to mix with those animals
And it just left you full of humiliated confusion
So you stagger back home
And wait for nothing
But the solitary refinement of your room spits you back out onto the street
And now youre desperate
And in need of human contact
And then

You meet me

And you whole world changes

Because everything I say is everything youve ever wanted to hear
So you drop all your defenses and you drop all your fears
And you trust me completely
Im perfect
In every way
Cause I make you feel so strong and so powerful inside
You feel so lucky
But your ego obscures reality
And you never bother to wonder why
Things are going so well
You wanna know why?

Cause Im a liar

Yeah Im a liar

Ill tear your mind out

Ill burn your soul

Ill turn you into me

Ill turn you into me

Cause Im a liar, a liar

A liar, a liar



Ill hide behind a smile
And understanding eyes
And Ill tell you things that you already know
So you can say
I really identify with you, so much
And all the time that youre needing me
Is just the time that Im bleeding you
Dont you get it yet?

Ill come to you like an affliction
And Ill leave you like an addiction
Youll never forget me
You wanna know why?

Cause Im a liar

Yeah Im a liar

Ill rip your mind out

Ill burn your soul

Ill turn you into me

Ill turn you into me

Cause Im a liar, a liar

Liar, liar, liar, liar



I dont know why I feel the need to lie
And cause you so much pain
Maybe its something inside
Maybe its something I cant explain
Cause all I do
Is mess you up and lie to you

Im a liar

Oh, I am a liar



If youll give me one more chance
I swear that I will never lie to you again
Because now I see the destructive power of a lie
Theyre stronger than truth
I cant believe I ever hurt you
I swear
I will never to you lie again, please
Just give me one more chance
I will never lie to you again
I swear
That I will never tell a lie
I will never tell a lie
No, no

Ha ha ha ha ha hah haa haa haa haaa

Sucker

Sucker!

Oh, sucker
I am a liar
Yeah, I am a liar

Yeah I like it
I feel good
Ohh I am a liar
Yeah
I lie

I lie

I lie
Oh, I lie
Oh I lie
I lie
Yeah
Ohhh Im a liar

I lie
Yeah
I like it
I feel good
Ill lie again
And again
Ill lie again and again
And Ill keep lying

I promise

and dont forget the insightful Jello Biafra formerly from the Dead Kennedys

soup is good food--- great track.
(i only have it on .... *dun dun dun* cassette! LOL)


We’re sorry
But you’re no longer needed
Or wanted
Or even cared about here
Machines can do a better job than you
This is what you get for asking questions
The unions agree
“Sacrifices must be made”
Computers never go on strike
To save the working man you’ve got to put him out to pasture
Looks like we’ll have to let you go
Doesn’t if feel fulfilling to know
That you - the human being - are now obsolete
And there’s nothing in hell we’ll let you do about it
Chorus: Soup is good food - (We don’t need you anymore)
You make a good meal - (We don’t need you anymore)
Now how do you feel - (We don’t need you anymore)
To be shit out our ass
And thrown in the cold like a piece of trash

We’re sorry
You’ll just have to leave
Unemployment runs out after just six weeks
How does it feel to be a budget cut?
You’re snipped
You no longer exist
Your number’s been purged from our central computer
So we can rig the facts
And sweep you under the rug
See our chart? Unemployment’s going down
If that ruins your life, that’s your problem

(Chorus)

(favourite verse)
We’re sorry
We hate to interrupt
But it’s against the law to jump off this bridge
You’ll just have to kill yourself somewhere else
A tourist might see you
And we wouldn’t want that
I’m just doing my job, you know
So say uncle
And we’ll take you to the mental health zoo
Force feed you mind melting chemicals
‘Til even the outside world looks great
In hi-tech science research labs
It costs too much to bury all the dead
the mutilated, disease-injected
Surplus rats who can’t be used anymore
So they’re dumped (with no minister present)
In a spiraling corkscrew disposal unit
Ground into stew and flushed away
Aw geez… / (Chorus)

We know how much you’d like to die
We joke about it on our coffee breaks
But we’re paid to force you to have a nice day
In the wonderful world we made just for you
“Poor Rats”, we human rodents chuckle
At least we get a dignified creation
And yet
At 6:00 tomorrow morning
It’s time to get up and go to work


havent heard that in a while.. but i still quote it a lot...

that and Bad Religions 'Stranger than Fiction' :
Life is the crummiest book I ever read,
There isn’t a hook, just a lot of cheap shots,
Pictures to shock and characters an amateur would never dream up

sometimes truth, is stranger than fiction.

[Decguin]

damn lexx.. you and me seem to like alot of the same bands/artist :\

Jello is great. and that Rollins Band Cd was dope.

you can always just put on some Metallica.. listen to tracks like St. Anger or go old and start listening to For Whom The Bell Tolls..

im really suprised no ones said these though.. Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Janis Joplin, & The Doors.

Jim Morrison was damn close to Bob Dylan only instead of Drug References he put his drug induced dreams into words. plus he was like a sex maniac.. that alone should give him a shitload of credit... and Jimi Hendrix And Jim Morrison - Fuck Her In The Ass is a hilarious song if you can find it.. good luck thats a rare track and hard to find anymore.

[DNA]

THe Beatles, Paul Simon and ELVIS FUCKING COSTELLO!!!!!That man is DOPE!

[Decguin]

SUBLIME!!

they were dope as fuck.. music wise they mixed alot of genres together.. from ska to punk to blues to rock. and the lyrics.. look at a sample of April 29th, 1992's lyrics...

Cause everybody in the hood has had it up to here,
It’s getting harder and harder and harder each and every year.

Some kids went in a store with thier mother,
I saw her when she came out she was gettin some pampers.

They said it was for the black man,
They said it was for the mexican,
And not for the white man.

But if you look at the streets it wasn’t about rodney king,
It’s bout this fucked up situation and these fucked up police.
It’s about coming up and staying on top
And screamin’ 187 on a mother fuckin’ cop.
It’s not written on the paper it’s on the wall.

[Decguin]

and oh yeah A.F.I. is dope as fuck too.. especially their older stuff.. their newer stuff is ok but i prefer the older.

God Called In Sick Today is dope..

Let’s admire the pattern forming.
Murderous filigree.
I’m caught in the twisting of the vine.
Go ascend with ivy,climbing.
Ignore and leave for me the headstone crumbling behind.
I can’t help my laughter as she cries.
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes.
Let’s amend the classic story, close it so beautifully,
I’ll let animosity unwind.
Steal away the darkened pages, hidden so shamefully.
I’ll still feel the violence of the lines.
I can’t stand my laughter as they cry.
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes.
And miles away my mother cries.

[Lexx]

I used to believe that all sublime fans were hot...

or at least everyone i thought was hot was a sublime fan...

Date Rape,
and oh i cant remember the song right now but it goes...

The only family that she's ever had
Is her seven horny brothers and a drunk-ass dad
he needed money so he put her on the street
everything was going fine until the day she met me
happy are you sad--wanna shoot your dad

Ill do anything i can / its the wrong way

Thats it!
Wrong way.

so fucking good.

but, im a fan of 40 oz to freedom.

[Decguin]

a cigarette rest between her lips but im starin at her tits.....


haha.. im a fan of Caress Me Down :D
