God is a bullet
Have mercy on us everyone

Wow, I think Andrew WK is great but I didn’t expect to see him in this thread :D!
I second the Shakira suggestion above, and add another one from Dar:
The Christians and The Pagans by Dar Williams
“Where does magic come from? I think magic’s in the learning
'Cause now when Christians sit with Pagans only pumpkin pies are burning”
Bruce Springsteen’s Rosalita
The joy in the line is palpable, and I know exactly how he feels.
My father tells me
"You’ve been screwed again.
If you let them do it to ya’
You’ve got yourself to blame
It’s you who feels the pain.
It’s you who feels the shame.
Dirty Jobs by The Who. One of about two billion rhymes that I’m trying to pin down in my head for this thread.
Climb into my machine so we can cruise on out
I know a little joint where we can jump and shout
I got chills typing those lines–oh yeah, Chuck Berry’s Carol
*You know you only hurt yourself out of spite
I guess you’d rather be a martyr tonight
… pause …
That’s your decision,
But I’m not below
Anybody I know
If there’s a chance of resurrecting a love*
Billy Joel’s An Innocent Man
Left a good job in the city
Workin’ for the man every night and day
But I never lost one minute of sleepin’
Worrying ‘bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keeps on turnin’
Pround Mary keeps on burnin’
CCR, baby!!!
I first heard that song in '87. I threw out all my new wave and hair bands, crossed over to classic rock and country, and I’ve never looked back. All because of that song.
–RBL Posse, Don’t Give Me No Bammer Weed
Name me another group that can rhyme “giggle” with “building” and make it work.
or try this one:
If we’re scared of one another / must be scared of ourselves /
more than just another crowd / we need a gathering instead
- The Crowd, Operation Ivy
always take a big bite
it’s such a gorgeous sight
to see you eat in the middle of the night
- Friday I’m in Love, The Cure
One of My Turns, Pink Floyd:
I have grown older, and you have grown colder,
And nothing is very much fun, anymore.
Beware, i bare more grudges, than lonely high court judges
Morrissey- The more you ignore me the closer i get
some melodies are like disase they can inflame your misery, they will infect your memories, they haunt me
cursive-sink to the beat
I was waiting on a moment
But the moment never came
All the billion other moments
Were just slipping all away.
- Ego Tripping @ the Gates of Hell, The Flaming Lips
