Seeing Tool and my favorite Bloodhoung Gang song makes me feel faith in humanity again. For myself, I'll go with:
"And as the walls come down, and as I look in your eyes, my fear begins to fade, recalling all of the times I have died and will die. It's all right. I don't mind." Tool, H.

<i>Stroboscopic contorsion-assault. Lightbulb language translated into fits
Codes of tendon-flickers I can't grasp. Focus lost as I writhe and twitch
Random beats of blinding shockwaves. Erratic suns that twist my eyes
Flashes pounding at my thoughts as the intrinsic pains multiply.</i>

<b>Meshuggah</b> - Spasm

<i>My God's will
becomes me.
When he speaks out,
he speaks through me.
He has needs
like I do.
We both want
to rape you.</i>

RUNNIN' SHINE -
WELL NOW DOWN DEEP IN THE OZARKS MAN,

THERE WERE I WAS BORN,

MY GRANDFATHER OWNED A STILL

AND RAISED A FIELD OF CORN.

HE TOLD ME BOY, YOU GONNA CARRY ON THIS FAMILY TRADITION,

THEN HE WILLED ME THE STILL PLUS ALL THE GUNS AND AMMUNITION.

YOU BETTER START RUNNIN' WHEN THE BULLETS START TO FLY.

YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND YOU FACE FLASH IN THE SKY.

I'M RUNNIN' SHINE.

MY GRANDFATHER TAUGHT ME ALL THE SECRETS OF THE TRADE,

HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO DRINK AND SELL THE BEST OF WHAT I MADE.

HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO UTILIZE THE GUNS AND AMMUNTION AND

HE ATAUGHT ME HOW TO DEAL WITH THOSE WHO ENVIED MY POSITION.

ONE DAY SHERIFF GERALD COLTRANE CAME A KNOCKIN' AT MY DOOR,

HE TOLD ME YOU WON'T BE MAKIN' THAT CORN LIQUOR NO MORE.

I FINALLY GOT TO UTILIZE THE GUNS AND AMMUNITION AND I

FINALLY GOT TO DEAL WITH WHOSE WHO ENVIED MY POSITION.

Push out dead air from a parking garage
Where you stand with the keys and your cool hat of silence
Where you grip her love like a driver's liscense

Ween got hired to make a song for the Pizza Hut "Insider" pizza, where there is cheese inside the crust. Lyrics...
"Where'd the cheese go?
I don't know!
Where'd the cheese go?
I don't know!"
Pizza Hut didn't like it, and wanted Ween to remake the song. Ween was getting tired of Pizza Hut by this time, so they changed the lyrics to...
"Bitch, where's the mutherfuckin' cheese go at?
I don't know." Needless to say, Pizza Hut learned that they are not "hip" enough for Ween. I think you can still hear both versions on their website. The lyrics are dumb, but it's so catchy its scary.

Don't open your eyes
you won't like what you see
The devils of truth
steal the souls of the free
Don't open your eyes
take it from me
I have found
You can find happiness in slavery
--NIN - Happiness in Slavery

God money I'll do anything for you
God money just tell me what you want me to
God money nail me up against the wall
God money don't want everything he wants it all
--NIN - Head Like a Hole [no idea how I managed to mislabel that one the first time]

I'm just an effigy to be disgraced
To be defaced
Your need for me has been replaced
And if I can't have everything well then just give me a taste
--NIN - Sin

I put my faith in god and my trust in you
Now there's nothing more fucked up I could do
--NIN - Wish

When figures from the past stand tall
And mocking voices ring the hall
Imperialistic house of prayer
Conquistadors who took their share
--NIN - Dead Souls

Probably the most famous of all Nine Inch Nails lyrics,

I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god
--NIN - Closer

She eyes me like a Pisces when, I am weak,
I’ve been locked inside your heart shaped box for weeks.
I’ve been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap,
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black...
--Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box

Johnny's in America, Johnny looks up at the stars
Johnny combs his hair and Johnny wants pussy and cars
--David Bowie & Trent Reznor - I'm Afraid of Americans

To end it on a lighter note, here's a quote form David Allen Coe's "Fuckin' in the Butt"

Baby, won't you give me some head?
Baby, won't you give me some head?
Baby, won't you give me some head?
Baby, won't you give me some head?

Base 2 (Formerly Sci-fi Lullaby) are not very well known or mainstream, but they're touring Europe now.

From "The Pavement"

I see you frozen
In the back of your intentions.
And someone stole the bread,
For the sandwich in my head.

Kush 05-08-2003 11:36 AM

The truth is,
You could slit my throat,
and in my one last gasping breath i'd apologise
for bleeding on your shirt.

The Normals:

"You were standing in my doorway
as the seconds raced the snails"

great metaphor, other pieces of note...

"so this is growing up
to find the things you weren't old enough to know
are the things you never wanted
as another pretty girl falls for another dirty lie

Innocence, we never got to say goodbye..."

Pedro the Lion: Penetration, the whole freakin song is good

"Have you ever seen an idealist with gray hairs on his head?
Or successful men who keep in touch with unsuccessful friends?
You only think you did, and I could've sworn I saw it too
But as it turns out it was just a clever ad for cigarettes

And we're so sorry sir, but you did not quite make the cut this time
And we'd appreciate it if you cleared your stuff all out by five
Don't take it personal, everyone knows you did your best
If it makes it easier you should look at it from our perspective

Cause if it isn't making dollars
Then it isn't making sense
If you aren't a moving unit
Then you're not worth the expense
If you really want to make it
You had best remember this:
If it isn't penetration
Then it isn't worth a kiss"

NuKE 05-08-2003 04:41 PM

Jerry spent some time in Michigan
A twenty year vacation, after all he had a dime
A dime is worth a lot more in Detroit
A dime in California, a twenty dollar fine

Jerry only stayed a couple months
It's hard to enjoy yourself while bleeding out the ass
Asphyxiation is simple and fast
It beats seventeen fun years of being someones bitch

thats from NoFX's the decline

apetaster 05-08-2003 05:14 PM

"Racecar backwards spells racecar, but you wouldn't know that."

"Two plus two ain't four, it's five tramp."

Fly Spinach Fly - Colgate Smile

Hitchcock 05-08-2003 07:19 PM

So hold me and love me
Tie me up and drug me
'Cause I'm not gonna beg you for my life
