Introduction

Welcome, one and all, to Sucky Lyrics!  There are lots and lots of songs out there, and thus, lots and lots of lyrics.  Many songs these days are so overproduced and overwhelmingly loud that the lyrics are sometimes lost in the din.  And often that's a good thing, because there are a LOT of terrible, wretched, misinformed, decrepit, pretentious, overwrought, soul-crushing pieces of prose embedded within perfectly serviceable, pleasant melodies.  In other words, there's a lot of crap. 

This blog is going to highlight one bad lyric every weekday; it could be a whole song, a single verse, a terrible rhyme etc.  Also, every so often I'll feature good lyrics.  That's right, they do exist! 

Of course, this is all subjective, but I think I have both pretty good taste in music and can recognize terrible writing when I see it.  You may totally disagree, but then I just won't trust your judgment. :)

All right, let's do this.
