Well, Americans:
What, nothin' better to do?
Why don't you kick yourself out?
You're an immigrant too.
Who's usin' who?
What should we do?
Well you can't be a pimp
And a prostitute too

Kind of random one here but always found this as a good pick me up song with some inspiring lyrics to stay positive and be a good person.
"You know a smile never goes out of style
So brighten up the one that you wear
Let it shine and you just might find
You'll lighten up the load that you bear"
"You know a kind work never goes unheard
But too often goes unsaid
And on the tongue of the old and the young
Gets swallowed up with pride instead"
Kind of along the same theme as the song above and I know some people can't stand Nickelback but the lyrics to this song are great and though provoking IMO. I guess the first verse pretty much sets the tone for how the rest of the song plays out.
"My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride"

"Every time I take a look,"
"Inside that old and fabled book,"
"I'm blinded and reminded of,
"The pain caused by some old man in the sky"

To me, some lyrics from Strawberry Fields sound deeper than they are -- this line might be taken for granted.
“Living is easy with eyes closed / misunderstanding all you see.”
“Living is easy with eyes closed / misunderstanding all you see.”
This is an old country blues song by Rabbit Brown that a million people have sung, but this is a perfect lyric

my favorite lyric from that song is what's in the screen capture "Some say you might go crazy, then again it might make you go sane"
The patron saint of Rock and roll. Great rock tunes played with passion but some very cleverly phrased lyrics that just seem to paint the picture without a lot of extra verbiage.
"They furnished off an apartment with a two-room Roebuck sale.
The coolerator was jammed with TV dinners and ginger ale."
Coolerator is a great made-up word combining cooler and refrigerator that fits the song perfectly!
"They had a hi-fi phono, boy did they let it blast.
700 little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down the rapid tempo of the music fell
... you never can tell"

Probably one of my top 2 or 3 Elvis Costello songs. Great lyrics from beginning to end but this little phrase always seems the most clever by a smidgen.
"Tryin to be so bad, is bad enough
Don't make me laugh by talkin tough
Don't put your heart out on your sleeve
When your remarks are off the cuff"

"The dog lifts his gaze to plead,"
"Believes the wizard has a magic stick,"
"Leans his weight into my tweed,"
"I give an unholy hand to lick"
Mark Knopfler, 'Yon Two Crows'

yes, yes it was.
the prophetic-ness of that lyric reminds me of this one:
"tall buildings shake, voices escape singing sad sad songs"
That album was initially supposed to be released on 9/11/01 on-line, but they delayed it a week after the attacks
Another from EC:
"Now that your picture's in the paper, being rhythmically admired
And you can have everyone that you have ever desired.."
