Best line in rock and roll?

I was born in a crossfire hurricane

But you only used to get juiced in it

The pump don't work cause the vandals stole the handle

Yyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh (the who)

It's hip to be square

Josie's on a vacation far away

My name's 'Blurryface' and I

care what you think

Kick out the jams mother f**ker!!

"People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time"

"Girl I'm just a Jeepster for your love"

I'm not sure if it's in a song but Johnny Cougar Mellencamp once said,

"Nothing matters and what if it did?"

Better to burn out than just fade away

Stop snivelin'...you're going to make some plastic surgeon a rich man

In the Land Of Chimpanzees I was a monkey

She was just 17, you know what I mean...

No one's gonna take my soul away

Living like Jim Morrison

Headed towards a f---ed up holiday

Well the God I believe in isn't short of cash, mister.

Anything from Frank Zappa, ie.

My balls feel like a pair of maracas, oh god I probably got the gonokakakas

Why does it hurt when I pee?

"She had a lot of horses

Trojans, and some of them were used..."

--Prince.

"When you were mine,

You were so strange,

You let all your friends come over and...

--You didn't have the decency to change the sheets..."

--Prince

"Cream.... You will cop..."

--Prince.

"Head..."

--Prince

"I wanna be the only one to make you come...

Running..."

--Prince

"The beautiful ones...

...you always seem...to lose..."

--Prince

Almost every line from Taxman:

Let me tell you how it will be

There's one for you, nineteen for me

Cos I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Should five per cent appear too small

Be thankful I don't take it all

Cos I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman

If you drive a car, I'll tax the street

If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat

If you get too cold I'll tax the heat

If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet

Taxman!

Cos I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman

Don't ask me what I want it for (Aahh Mr. Wilson)

If you don't want to pay some more (Aahh Mr. Heath)

Cos I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Now my advice for those who die

Declare the pennies on your eyes

Cos I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

And you're working for no one but me

Taxman!

Anything from Sympathy for the Devil:

Please allow me to introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste

I've been around for a long, long year

Stole many a man's soul to waste

I stuck around St. Petersburg

When I saw it was a time for a change

Killed the czar and his ministers

Anastasia screamed in vain

anyways, best line is stupid, we should be talking about best lyrics. The best songs tell a story. Like Konstantine by Something Corporate.

"Sunshine bores the daylights out of me" - from Rocks Off by the Rolling Stones. Not profound but you'd be hard-pressed to find anything more emblematic of the rock and roll aesthetic. Great song as well.

"When they pull you out of the oxygen tent,

You ask for the latest parties..."

--volley.

"Sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll,

Are all my brain and body need..."

"I fell asleep with the gift of woman-kind,

She's still asleep, but the gift don't seem to mind..."

The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'

But when she got undressed, it was a big old mess, Sheena was a man
