@edgarblythe,
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
I feel that way here sometimes
Imagine there's no religion
It's easy if you try
On the day I was born, the nurses all gathered round
And they gazed in wide wonder at the joy they had found

It's a wonder you don't express your outrage.

Not everyone is as obsessive-compulsive as you, JTT.
Not the first lines but very good ones:
Crawling from the wreckage, crawling from the wreckage
Bits of me are scattered in the trees and in the hedges
I had the blues so bad one time
It put my face in a permanent frown
Candy is dandy and liquor is quicker
You can drink all the liquor down at Costa Rica
Another couple further on down the line.
Somebody wrote me a nasty letter,
But they didn't sign their name
Baby, take off your coat...(real slow)
Baby, take off your shoes...(here, I'll take your shoes)
Baby, take off your dress
Yes, yes, yes
Now maybe
I didn't mean to treat you bad
But I did it anyway
Candlebox - Far Behind
In America you'll get food to eat
Won't have to run through the jungle
And scuff up your feet
You'll just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day
It's great to be an American
No one likes us-I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens
We give them money-but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us-so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them
Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada's too cold
And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one
There'll be no one left to blame us
We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an All American amusement park there
They got surfin', too
Boom goes London and boom Paree
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono
And there'll be Italian shoes for me
They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now[/i]
In a gadda da vida, baby
In a gadda da vida, honey
Don't you know that I'm lovin' you
@Finn dAbuzz,
Crawling from the Wreckage.
Hey, happy T day!

I heard about some lady named Selma and some blacks
Somebody put their fingers in the President's ears
It wasn't too much later they came out with Johnson's wax
I remember the book depository where they crowned the king of Cuba
Now that's all I can think of, but I'm sure there's something else
Way down inside me I can feel it coming back
TMBG rock, best line ever
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'bout a ghost from a wishing-well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
I left your house this morning about a quarter after nine
Coulda been the Willie Nelson, coulda been the wine
