Song Lyrics

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

I listen to the radio for 8 hours a day at work. It’s either that or silence, so I opt for radio, even though I don’t like any of the stations. The stations that play music I do like are very repetitive, and unfortunately play the other crap I don’t like either. Things like 5 cents change and so on.

I have to say there are some pretty funny/dumb song lyrics out there. I can understand a song sung by some kid being silly. Especially if they wrote it themselves. I would never make fun of a child on my site. Ok, I might, but I’d like to point out that none of these lyrics are from Bieber or Cyrus. I forgive their silly lyrics due to the fact that they have not experienced life yet.

These songs are sung by grown ups. Not just grown ups, but people who seem to think they’re badass and therefore super duper cool. No so.

1. Generic rockband-”Nobody wins when everyone’s losing.”: Why is it dumb? Well, because it’s redundant. This is from one of those Theory of a Nicked Eleven “rock” bands. I don’t know which one. They all sound exactly the same to me. A bunch of middle aged douches standing on slightly bent knees, moving slightly back and forth until the point in the song where they move away from the mic dramatically to showcase their ROCK moves. Anyway, every time I hear this song lyric I cringe. It’s like saying everyone gets wet if they go in the water or something equally as obvious. This is the best they could come up with? Why not just say, “everyone’s unhappy and it sucks for all of us.”
