It's true that most lyrics are "bad poetry"...but I think it's disingenuous to separate the lyrics from the music. The music isn't just something to "prop up" the bad poetry, it is an integral part of the song. Human's have a (so far as we understand) unique ability to be emotionally moved by music, and lyrics work in conjunction with the music. They are not separate entities.
I'm also not sure where exactly you get the idea that "a song isn't a song without lyrics." I strongly disagree there.
