    It's the GOAT.

    Please tell me that was a joke ftr. Of all people I should have known that your remark was just a friendly jab but at Canada

    but you'd be surprised how often shit like that is spoken as fact.

    The lyrics are on this video but anyway. Didn't realize this song was written by an Auzzie in the late 50's
    No one does it better than Johnny




    I was toting my pack along the long dusty Winnemucca road
    When along came a semi with a high canvas covered load
    If your goin' to Winnemucca, Mack with me you can ride
    And so I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside
    He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand
    And I said, "Listen! I've traveled every road in this here land!"
    I've been everywhere, man

    And you won't read that book again
    Because the ending's just to hard to take
    I walk away like a movie star
    Who gets burned in a three way script
    Enter number two, a movie queen
    To play the scene of bringing all the good things out in me
    But for now love let's be real
    I never knew I feel this way
    And I've got to say that I just don't get it
    I don't know where we went wrong
    But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
    If you could read my mind love
    What a tale my thoughts could tell
    Just like an old time movie about a ghost from a wishing well
    In a castle dark or a fortress strong
    With chains upon my feet
    The story always ends
    And if you read between the lines
    You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
    The feeling that you left
    I never knew I feel this way
    And I've got to say that I just don't get it
    I don't know where we went wrong
    But the feeling's gone
    And I just can't get it back

    Any lyric that takes you to another place, possibly bringing a tear to the eye. is the basis of why we love songs/music

    Micon the icon
    Waiting in the wings
    To get his wings
    So he can be an angel
    And fly on my Micon
    Saturn has it's rings
    But when he sings
    I need a shoulder
    That I can cry on
    I need a shoulder
    That I can cry on
    And Micon the icon
    My Micon the icon
    I need a shoulder
    That I can cry on
    I need a shoulder
    That I can cry on
    Micon the icon
    My Micon the icon
    My Micon the icon
    My Micon the icon
    My Micon the icon

    Well, I guess I probably fucked about a million girls
    And if half of them were women, I'd shoot a string of pearls
    Still, I guess that most of them were usually men...
    Society makes a man mouth-fuck his best friend

    Hard for a 'tard
    I saw her in the yard
    Walking after kitty, she stepped in a turd
    Hard for a 'tard
    Got her in my car
    Slipped into her tard-hole, she didn't say a word...

    Fucking this retarded chick at the end of the block
    She gets confused by the smell of air
    But the sex is fantastic so I just don't care
    Something about this retard gets me hard as a rock
    She gets lost falling down the stairs
    But she sure knows her way around my pubic hairs

    Hard for a 'tard
    Her brain is deeply scarred
    Throwing rocks at kitty, she's eating a turd
    Hard for a 'tard
    Get in the fucking car
    Retarded chicks should be fucked and not heard

    Now her hot retard pussy always there for the taking
    You know she won a Golden Globe, you know she could be faking
    And still the quest for Oscar gold we are together making
    As my lumpy penis-pie her vagi-stove is baking

    I'm in love with a girl that's fucking retarded
    The only time she made a sound was when her pussy farted
    But it gets better and I'm telling ya how -
    I found her medicare checks and I'm cashing them now

    Hard for a 'tard
    My perfect putt was parred
    Kitty is becoming a turd
    Hard for a 'tard
    The turd is in a jar
    Retards and old people need some cock too...

    Hard for a 'tard x4

    Retarded chicks should be fucked and not heard

    spidey fingers Buckethead. fucking psycho.

    “I believe the simplest explanation is, there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization that there probably is no heaven and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe and for that, I am extremely grateful.”

    Exceeds the 50 year parameter by a few years, and not even his best lyrics, but seeing our continued fascination with putting war monger draft dodgers in charge of our military, this feels as true today as when written

    Masters Of War
    WRITTEN BY: BOB DYLAN

    Come you masters of war
    You that build all the guns
    You that build the death planes
    You that build the big bombs
    You that hide behind walls
    You that hide behind desks
    I just want you to know
    I can see through your masks

    You that never done nothin’
    But build to destroy
    You play with my world
    Like it’s your little toy
    You put a gun in my hand
    And you hide from my eyes
    And you turn and run farther
    When the fast bullets fly

    Like Judas of old
    You lie and deceive
    A world war can be won
    You want me to believe
    But I see through your eyes
    And I see through your brain
    Like I see through the water
    That runs down my drain

    You fasten the triggers
    For the others to fire
    Then you set back and watch
    When the death count gets higher
    You hide in your mansion
    As young people’s blood
    Flows out of their bodies
    And is buried in the mud

    You’ve thrown the worst fear
    That can ever be hurled
    Fear to bring children
    Into the world
    For threatening my baby
    Unborn and unnamed
    You ain’t worth the blood
    That runs in your veins

    How much do I know
    To talk out of turn
    You might say that I’m young
    You might say I’m unlearned
    But there’s one thing I know
    Though I’m younger than you
    Even Jesus would never
    Forgive what you do

    Let me ask you one question
    Is your money that good
    Will it buy you forgiveness
    Do you think that it could
    I think you will find
    When your death takes its toll
    All the money you made
    Will never buy back your soul

    And I hope that you die
    And your death’ll come soon
    I will follow your casket
    In the pale afternoon
    And I’ll watch while you’re lowered
    Down to your deathbed
    And I’ll stand o’er your grave
    ’Til I’m sure that you’re dead

    Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
    And everybody's in movies, it doesn't matter who you are
    There are starts in every city
    In every house and on every street
    And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
    Their names are written in concrete
    Don't step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the Boulevard
    She looks so weak and fragile that's why she tried to be so hard
    But they turned her into a princess
    And they sat her on a throne
    But she turned her back on stardom
    Because she wanted to be alone
    You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
    Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of
    People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
    Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain
    Rudolph Valentino looks very much alive
    And he looks up ladies dresses as they sadly pass him by
    Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi
    'Cause he's liable to turn and bite
    But stand close by Bette Davis
    Because hers was such a lonely life
    If you covered him with garbage
    George Sanders would still have style
    And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney
    He would still turn round and smile
    But please don't tread on dearest Marilyn
    Cause she's not very tough
    She should have been made of iron or steel
    But she was only made of flesh and blood
    You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
    Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of
    People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
    Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain
    Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
    And everybody's in show biz, it doesn't matter who you are
    And those who are successful
    Be always on your guard
    Success walks hand in hand with failure
    Along Hollywood Boulevard
    I wish my life was non-stop Hollywood movie show
    A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
    Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
    And celluloid heroes never really die
    You can see all the stars as you walk along...
    You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
    Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of
    People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
    Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain
    La la la la....
    Oh, celluloid heroes never feel any pain
    Oh, celluloid heroes never really die
    I wish my life was non-stop Hollywood movie show
    A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
    Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
    And celluloid heroes never really die






    People stared at the makeup on his face
    Laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace
    The boy in the bright blue jeans
    Jumped up on the stage
    And lady stardust sang his songs
    Of darkness and disgrace
    And he was alright, the band was altogether
    Yes he was alright, the song went on forever
    And he was awful nice
    Really quite out of sight
    And he sang all night long
    Femme fatales emerged from shadows
    To watch this creature fair
    Boys stood upon their chairs
    To make their point of view
    I smiled sadly for a love
    I could not obey
    Lady stardust sang his songs
    Of darkness and dismay
    And he was alright, the band was altogether
    Yes he was alright, the song went on forever
    And he was awful nice
    Really quite paradise
    And he sang all night long
    All night long
    Oh how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name
    And he was alright, the band was altogether
    Yes he was alright, the song went on forever
    And he was awful nice
    Really quite out of sight
    He sang all night long






    One soft infested summer, me and Terry became friends
    Trying in vain to breathe the fire we was born in
    Catching rides to the outskirts, tying faith between our teeth
    Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house, getting wasted in the heat
    And hiding on the backstreets
    Hiding on the backstreets
    With a love so hard and filled with defeat
    Running for our lives at night on them backstreets
    Slow dancing in the dark on the beach at Stockton's Wing
    Where desperate lovers park, we sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings
    Huddled in our cars, waiting for the bells that ring
    In the deep heart of the night they set us loose of everything
    To go running on the backstreets
    Running on the backstreets
    Terry, you swore we'd live forever
    Taking it on them backstreets together
    Endless juke joints and Valentino drag
    Where famous dancers scraped the tears up off the street, dressed down in rags
    Running into the darkness, some hurt bad, some really dying
    At night sometimes it seemed you could hear the whole damn city crying
    Blame it on the lies that killed us, blame it on the truth that ran us down
    You can blame it all on me, Terry, it don't matter to me now
    When the breakdown hit at midnight, there was nothing to say
    But I hated him, and I hated you when you went away
    Laying here in the dark, you're like an angel on my chest
    Just another tramp of hearts crying tears of faithlessness
    Remember all the movies, Terry, we'd go see
    Trying to learn to walk like the heroes we thought we had to be
    And after all this time, to find we're just like all the rest
    Stranded in the park and forced to confess
    To hiding on the backstreets
    Hiding on the backstreets
    Where we swore forever friends
    On the backstreets until the end





    Riding on the city of New Orleans
    Illinois Central, Monday morning rail
    Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
    Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail
    All along the southbound odyssey
    The train pulled out at Kankakee
    And rolls along past houses, farms and fields
    Passin' trains that have no names
    And freight yards full of old black men
    And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles
    Good morning, America
    How are you?
    Say don't you know me? I'm your native son
    I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans
    And I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
    Dealin' card games with the old men in the club car
    Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score
    Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
    Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor
    And the sons of Pullman Porters
    And the sons of engineers
    Ride their father's magic carpet made of steel
    Mothers with their babes asleep
    Are rockin' to the gentle beat
    And the rhythm of the rail is all they feel
    Good morning, America
    How are you?
    Say don't you know me? I'm your native son
    I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans
    I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
    Nighttime on the city of New Orleans
    Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee
    Half way home, we'll be there by morning
    Through the Mississippi darkness
    Rolling down to the sea
    But all the towns and people seem
    To fade into a bad dream
    And the steel rails still ain't heard the news
    The conductor sings his songs again
    The passengers will please refrain
    This train has got the disappearing railroad blues
    Good morning, America
    How are you?
    Say don't you know me? I'm your native son
    I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans
    I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

    I don't want to die out here in the valley
    Waiting for my luck to change
    And I just want my dad to know
    That I finally made it
    Everybody gets high
    Everybody gets low
    Everybody gets bruised
    Everybody gets sold
    I don't want to die out here in the valley
    You don't have to lie,
    I know that's what I'll do
    I don't want my mom to know
    That I never loved my life
    And I sold my soul
    Everybody gets high
    Everybody gets low
    Everybody gets bruised
    Everybody gets sold
    Everybody gets dark
    Everybody unfolds
    Everybody gets high
    Everybody gets so low
    And everyone's eyes are blue
    And everyone's mouth is dry
    And nobody wants to die
    In Van Nuys
    Van Nuys
    Everybody gets high
    Everybody gets low
    Everybody gets bruised
    Everybody gets sold
    Everybody gets dark
    Everybody unfolds
    Everybody gets high
    Everybody gets so low
    Well you don't know how to get back to your crawlspace
    Underneath the dirt and the rust and the waste
    But the sun sets fast these days.
    Everyone's eyes are blue
    And everyone's mouth is dry
    And nobody wants to die
    In Van Nuys
    Van Nuys
    Everyone's eyes are blue
    And everyone's mouth is dry
    And nobody wants to die
    In Van Nuys
    Van
    Everyone's eyes are blue
    And everyone's mouth is dry
    And nobody wants to die
    In Van Nuys, oh
    Everyone's eyes are blue
    And everyone's mouth is dry
    And nobody wants to die
    In Van Nuys
    Van Nuys

    John Darnielle is the greatest American lyricist since Dylan.

    One example of many:



    '36 hudson in the garage,
    all sorts of junk in the unattached spare room,
    dishes in the kitchen sink,
    new straw for the old broom,
    friends who dont have a clue,
    well meaning teachers,
    but down in your arms,
    in your arms, I am a wild creature.

    floor two foot high with newspapers,
    white carpet thick with pet hair,
    half eaten gallons of ice cream in the freezer,
    fresh fuel for the sodium flares,
    I write down good reasons to freeze to death
    in my spiral ring notebook,
    but in the long tresses of your hair
    I am a babbling brook.

    Troye Sivan- Heaven


    The truth runs wild
    Like a tear down a cheek
    Trying to save face, and daddy heart break
    I'm lying through my teeth


    This voice inside
    Has been eating at me
    Trying to replace the love that I fake
    With what we both need


    The truth runs wild
    Like kids on concrete
    Trying to sedate, my mind in its cage
    And numb what I see


    Awake, wide eyed
    I'm screaming at me
    Trying to keep faith and picture his face
    Staring up at me
    Without losing a piece of me
    How do I get to heaven?
    Without changing a part of me
    How do I get to heaven?
    All my time is wasted
    Feeling like my heart's mistaken, oh
    So if I'm losing a piece of me
    Maybe I don't want heaven?
