Well we got no class
And we got no principles
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes

All you assholes who hate Nickelback are just too dumb to understand their message.

some of those are shameless commercial hooks, some have something behind them, Hey Jude, written by PMac to console/inspire Julian Lennon during the break up of his parents marriage, Yellow Submarine -a kid's song, Yesterday -personal reflection, that should be obvious to a third grader, Ramble On -inspired after reading Lord of the Rings, and on and on

It's well known that Beethoven wrote songs for the illiterate. He really, really dumbed it down for the masses.
