Roughly half of this thread has latched onto the idea that lyrics are dumb if and only if they don't make any sense. These people really have to stop accusing other posters of not understanding coherent lyrics just because they dislike them. Many lyrics are both bad and coherent (like Fireflies). A good example:
Let's see how long it takes for someone to accuse me of just not understanding this song.
I've had one desire since I was born To see my body ripped and torn To see my flesh devoured before my eyes Only for you , I volunteer as a human sacrifice
[Chorus] Carve me up, slice me apart Suck my guts and lick my heart Chop me up, I like to be hurt Drink my marrow and blood for dessert EATEN... My one desire, my only wish is to be- EATEN... The longer I live the more I'm dying to feel the pain EATEN... I would do anything to be- EATEN... My one desire, my only wish is to be- EATEN...
I finally found you, my personal slaughter As an appetizer,I let you taste my daughter Call me sick but this is what I need My only purpose here is for you to feed
[Chorus] Carve me up, slice me apart Suck my guts and lick my heart Chop me up, I like to be hurt Drink my marrow and blood for dessert EATEN... My one desire, my only wish is to be- EATEN... The longer I live the more I'm dying to feel the pain EATEN... I would do anything to be- EATEN... My one desire, my only wish is to be- EATEN...
Desecrate me Tear me limb from limb Eviscerate me Chew me to death
EATEN... My one desire, my only wish is to be- EATEN... The longer I live the more I'm dying to feel the pain EATEN... I would do anything to be- EATEN... My one desire, my only wish is to be- EATEN...
Well I like the original version its pretty kick ass, But that cover burns my soul. But may I ask whats stupid about the lyrics? Sure their violent and disturbing to most, But that is the whole heart and soul of Death metal.

Not sure if this qualifies as "dumb", I'm sure it makes sense to some, funny nonetheless.
Hmm really the only part I saw dumb in that video is when he was saying random nonsense that wasn't even in the lyrics of the actually Cannibal Corpse song. (I haven't listened to Rancid Amputation much but Cannibal Corpse aren't idiots). I guess I understand how people see lyrics about murder to be "Dumb", But it really doesn't have anything to do with this thread as its about completely ignorant and non understandable lyrics/plain fucking stupid. Like most of Lil'Waynes junk.

Sorry if that's already been posted, i wouldn't be suprised lol
Am I the only person who found this line clever? It actually took time to think about and figure out the comparison.
I thought it was clever. And I generally agree with the view that Wayne's lyrics aren't very good. It's a different way to say 'walk softly, but carry a big stick'.
This is hilarious. You couldn't be more right. Sometimes though its not always the lyrics it's the way the lyrics are suggested.
Have you ever heard of The Talking Heads? Their lyrics sometimes are a bit fucking nonsensical but its how you say your words. Game changing band when it comes to alternative, electronic, and all sorts of sub genres.
System of a Down for example, although on the complete other side of the spectrum when it comes to music when talking about The Talking heads. System makes, for the most part, no sense at all in 97% of their songs. Good Band
I agree for the better part. The music you suggest is lyrical heresy and garbage.
Doesn't stop it from being one of the worst songs i've heard in a long time.
Haha omg, there was about a three month period where I legitimately thought that song was about being a Bee. God, modern pop music is so bad but at least when you don't take it seriously it can be fun.
I get that she's Will Smith's daughter, but that doesn't excuse such bad and repetitive lyrics.
I whip my hair back and forth I whip my hair back and forth (just whip it) I whip my hair back and forth I whip my hair back and forth (whip it real good) I whip my hair back and forth
I kind of hate myself for even having to go onto the video to get the link.
You sir made me sad. This song is all about helping to restore the self-image of our girlfriends. It's nowhere near as bad as the level of the sad excuse for lyrics brought up by the majority of the previous posters.
