“I can’t complain, but sometimes I still do…
Life’s been good to me so far.

In that vein (not deep lyrics, just fun):

Why'd you think I let you get away with doing radio-friendly versions of what I do?
Like I wouldn’t chide you
Out perform, out write, and out rhyme you
Outsmart, out heart, and out grind you

"And if California slides into the ocean,
like the mystics and statistics say it will..."

Zevon (rhyming mystics and statistic is awesome in just a great song)

"Everything is not enough, nothing is too much to bear
Where you been is good and gone, all you keep is the getting there"

Townes - the last part of the first line is the opposite of what most people think, he was good at that.

"She was breeding a dwarf and she wasn't done yet"
"She carried on without a comma"

Zappa - Camarillo Brillo

"There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes..."
"While the kids ran around wearing other people's clothes"

Prine - Sam Stone

"I'll bid the years goodbye, you cannot still them
You cannot turn the circles of the sun
you cannot count the miles until you feel them
you cannot hold a lover that has gone"

Townes again - Snowing on Raton. The whole song is nearly perfect lyrically.

I hear you talking when I'm on the street,
Your mouth don't move but I can hear you speak.
Stones- Rocks Off

I'm hiding in honduras, I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns, and money
The shite has hit the fan
Zevon

1,2,3,4
Ramones

You ride my arse like a horse in a saddle
Now you're up shite's creek with a turd for a paddle.

GOAT rhyme:

Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy
It's not your style;
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
Ya' decided to smile

Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
Cause I speak of the pompitous of love

People talk about me, baby
Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong
Well, don't you worry baby
Don't worry
Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at home

I could list numerous, but My Morning Jacket's "Honest Man" sums up how to live your best life with this:

I do believe
That good luck comes from tryin'
So until I get mine
I'll work me the whole day through

YES!!!! Dude I had forgotten all about Sage Francis! I used to spin Personal Journals and Sick of Waging War all the time back in the day. Thanks for this throw back. I'll be playing some Sage for the next few days
