"Still Fighting It" by Ben Folds
Good morning, son.
I am a bird
Wearing a brown polyester shirt.
You want a Coke?
Maybe some fries?
The roast beef combo's only $9.95.
It's okay, you don't have to pay,
I've got all the change.

she used to be a diplomat
but now she's down the laundromat.
Cause she's highly strung'

High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here
A corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse, you elevate my soul
I've lost all 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
I can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation
A mole, living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation
Love, lift me out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true
I believe in you
A mole, living 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

I don't want to see a ghost,
It's the sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
or REM -The Great Beyond
I´m pushing an elephant up the stairs
I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground
Completely agree with the first - that is THE worst lyric of all time - but disagree with the second, it tallies perfectly with the subject matter of the song.

Before he leaves the camp he stops
He scans the world outside
And where there used to be some shops
Is where the snipers sometimes hide
He left his home the week before
He thought he'd be like the police
But now he finds he is at war
Weren't we supposed to keep the peace

Great thread idea Bantam81
Here are a couple of truly bad lyrics amidst great songs; the first is The Flaming Lips title track to the classic album Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Pt1 - at 01:35 the lyrics are
Those evil-natured robots
They're programmed to destroy us
She's gotta be strong to fight them
So she's taking lots of vitamins
The other one is The Undertones' My Perfect Cousin where on the clip below on 00:35 the lyrics are
He's got a degree in Economics
Maths, Physics and Bionics
He thinks that I'm a cabbage
Because I hate University Challenge
Diabolical lyrics which sound even worse when heard as they're meant to be
RE: Worst Lyrics in a Song - rickhardo - 23-03-2011 20:30
That Undertones lyric is cancelled out by the classic lines in the same song
He always beat me at Subbuteo,
Cause he flicked to kick, and I didn't know.

From Duran Duran - Is there Something I should know
Dont say your easy on me your about as easy as a nuclear war

The Reflex - Duran Duran
"You've gone too far this time"
But I'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around
With my chances on the dangerline
I'll cross that bridge when I find it
Another day to make my stand
High time is no time for deciding
If I should find a helping hand
CHORUS
So why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't lose it
The reflex is an only child he's waiting in the park
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark
I'm on a ride and I want to get off
But they won't slow down the roundabout
I sold the Renoir and the TV set
Don't want to be around when this gets out
CHORUS
Oh the reflex what a game he's hiding all the cards
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark

Wild boys, wild boys, wild boysWild boysWild! (wild)Boys! (boys)The wild boys are calling on their way back from the fire In august moon’s surrender to a dust cloud on the rise Wild boys fallen far from glory, reckless and so hungered On the razors edge you trail because there’s murder (murder)By the roadside in a sore afraid new world They tried to break us, looks like they’ll try again Wild boys.. never lose it Wild boys.. never chose this wayWild boys.. never close your eyesWild boys.. always shineYou got sirens for a welcome, there’s bloodstain for your pain And your telephone been ringing while you’re dancing in the rain Wild boys wonder where is glory where is all you angels Now the figureheads have fell? And lovers war with arrows over secrets they could tell They tried to tame you, looks like they’ll try again(chorus)-(chorus) (chorus) (chorus)
