Eagles:
Some rich men came and raped the land
Nobody caught 'em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes
And Jesus people bought 'em

Yes to dance beneath the diamond sky, with one hand waving free, silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands with all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves let me forget about today until tomorrow
But even the president of the United States Sometimes must have to stand naked
While money doesn’t talk, it swears
Praise be to Nero’s Neptune, the Titanic sails at dawn and everybody’s shouting “Which Side Are You On?”
The buying power of the proletariat’s gone down, money’s getting shallow and weak
Paul Simon
The Mississippi Delta was shining like a national guitar
Two out of three ain't bad.
Only the Good Die Young.
Them belly full but we hungry
Get on your bikes and ride!
I don't know but I've been told
A big legged woman ain't got no soul!
Two of my favorites:
"Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right" - Scarlet Begonias, Grateful Dead
And the single greatest line:
"And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death"
-Time, Pink Floyd
"It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win"
"It's the same thing night on night
Who's wrong baby who's right
Another fight and I slam the door on
Another battle in our dirty little war
When I look at myself I don't see
The man I wanted to be
Somewhere along the line I slipped off track
I'm caught movin' one step up and two steps back"
Take me down, little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
Send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flower by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
Townes Van Zandt "Dead Flowers"
Hello darkness, my old friend. I've come to walk with you again.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down. -Art Garfunkle
We will, we will ROCK YOU.
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landside, No escape from reality
Or pretty much any line from Bohemian Rapsody.
And of course
I would do anything for love. I would do anything for love... but I won't do THAT! -Meatloaf
Put me in coach, I'm READY TO PLAY!

"What a long...strange trip it's been." - Grateful Dead
Got it bad
Got it bad
Got it bad
I'm hot for teacher.

"You ain't a bad girl, honey,
No matter what the neighbors say,
It's just that you were those skin-tight dresses
With your G-string tuned to "A" "
- Whitesnake
"Kitten's Got Claws"
Slip of the Tongue (1989)
If my words did glow with the glow of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music
Would you hold it near as it were your own?
The first verse of Ripple by The Grateful Dead
So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
'Cause if I have to spend another minute with you
I dont think that I can really survive
Paradise by the dashboard light, Meatloaf

Not sure how well known this song is if you're not a John Prine fan, but:
"There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes,
Jesus Christ died for nothin', I suppose."
This. As a recovering addict, no song is bleaker or truer than this. One of the darkest choruses of all time.
Prine did have a lighter side.

Had something up her sleeve."
In Spite of Ourselves:

I caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies."
