Best rock lyric ever?

st: 21660000, member: 238373"]Not a poll and I know there is no correct answer. Just wondering what lyric you think is the best ever.
I'm specifically saying lyric as opposed to lyrics. Just one line, not a whole verse or chorus.
I went to see Nine Inch Nails last night and I think Trent Reznor came up with the best rock lyric ever. First line to the chorus of Closer: I want to **** you like an animal.
It's nasty, vulgar, offensive, dangerous, and menacing but it's also sexy, fun, and crazy. It's a song that is rough enough for the boys but still sexy enough for the girls to get into as well. A nice balance. And it was a wonderful experience to be in a room with thousands of women screaming that line at the top of their lungs.[/QUOTE

You'd poison a blind man's dog,
and steal his cane.
You'd giftwrap a leper,
& mail him to your Aunt Jane.
You'd even force feed a diabetic a candy cane!
You....can go to hell.

As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?
And each time I feel like this inside
There's one thing I wanna know:
What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding?
And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony
'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? Ohhhh

What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? Ohhhh what's so fun about peace, love and understanding

You can't always get what you want.
But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need.

Man...It’s as if he’s speaking directly to me...to my heart...
Oops I did it again. I know, it’s hardly a rock song and it ain’t the best lyric ever, but that one line describes me more often than I care to admit.
Same here. It pretty much nails how I’ve been feeling about the world lately.
Lately?
Yup!
But the song goes back to 1974...Nick Lowe was...20...maybe?!
