In this situation, I refuse to play the Shiny Happy People card. That would be cruel.

Zootlesque said:Why do you debbie downers have to nitpick with some of the lyrics here? lol. I remember when I complained about Vertigo's lines which are a 1000 times worse... "gimme what I want and no one gets hurt" or "yeah yeah yeah yeah...", some people said Oh c'mon what do you expect from a rock band? Poetry?
Irishteen said:I feel the only time you ever really notice the lyrics of a song is when they are either really amazing or really awful; and maybe when they feel like they apply to you, or are about something you disagree with or really dislike. Most of the time, it's more about how they are sung.
Lancemc said:I'm more or less in the same park as Cori in regards to lyrics. I definitely appreciate them when they're good. Bob Dylan is one of my absolutely favorite artists because of this, and I have even more respect for guys like Nick Cave or David Bowie when they can write a killer verse or two. But it's not typically what I listen for. So I guess, when they're great, I love it more, but when they aren't so hot, I don't have too much trouble ignoring them.
