Misery Business is my favorite song from Paramore:

Spoiler

I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top
She's got a body like an hourglass that's ticking like a clock
It's a matter of time before we all run out
When I thought he was mine, she caught him by the mouth
I waited eight long months
She finally set him free
I told him I couldn't lie, he was the only one for me
Two weeks and we had caught on fire
She's got it out for me, but I wear the biggest smile
Whoa, well I never meant to brag
But I've gotten what I wanted now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God it just feels so
It just feels so good

Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change
Once a -----, you're nothing more, I'm sorry that'll never change
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged
I'm sorry honey, I passed out, now look this way
Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who
They want and what they like, it's easy if you do it right
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!

From The Smiths' "Is It Really So Strange?":

I left the South
I traveled North
I got confused - I killed a horse
I can't help the way I feel
Oh yes, you can punch me

I will never stop finding Morrissey's lyrics amazingly humorous, as much as they are brilliant and pleasing.

For the sake of it, from "Still Ill":

I decree today that life
Is simply taking and not giving
England is mine, it owes me a living
But ask me why and I'll spit in your eye

And "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now":

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

Some of the best lyrics ever written.
You can find practically anything in the Smiths.

[Dannflower Reguba]

I can't decide, so I'm just going to put 2 of 'em here.

I looked o'er Jordan, and what'd I see?
comin' for to carry me home
A band of Angels comin' after me
comin' for to carry me home

If you get there, before I do
comin' for to carry me home
Tell all my friends I'm comin' too
comin' for to carry me home

Unbreakable, Of Mice & Men:
"And I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I'm unbreakable
Can't defeat me, though I'm bleeding
Unbreakable
Though I'm bending, I'll never break
I'll never break"

"This is for the kids with the beaten in lips
Whose parents try to shut them up using their fists!
Keep living loud and proud!
They never can hold you down!
This is for the kids with the soul like mine
When people tell you living is a waste of your time
Keep living loud and proud!
They can never hold you down!"
-Beaten In Lips, Beartooth


"When I tell you I'll be fine,
I still want you by my side,
Please just try to read between the lines
Where's my comfort in the undefined?
Please just try to read between my lines"
-The Lines, Beartooth


"Up on the mountain, I see down below
It's easy to to lose yourself I know
Can't hear what you're shouting, I'm deaf to your show
It's easy to lose your self-control
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low
Life can be such overdose
Up on the mountain, I see down below
It's easy to lose yourself I know, in the in between"
-In Between, Beartooth


"I'm ready to bury all of my bones
I'm ready to lie but say I won't
So tell me your secrets
And join me in pieces
To rot in this garden made of stones
I'm ready to bleed to make amends
And sleep in this dirt we call our bed
So tell me your secrets
And join me in pieces
To fall and rewrite the bitter end
Eternally yours"
-Eternally Yours, Motionless In White


"Wait, won't let them turn away
We'll show them what they made
We'll be here when their heart stops beating
Wake the nation of today
Our hopes will never fade
We'll be here when their heart stops beating"
-Wake Up, Black Veil Brides


"I need you
To tell me everything will be alright
To chase away the voices in the night
When they call my name
Have I gone insane?"
-When They Call My Name, Black Veil Brides


"Life took another turn
A hurricane has washed away the fire that once burned
And time, taken our true spark,
Chosen, but we gave away the beat to your broken heart
I can't put it back together
I won't put it back together
This isn't where it ends"
-Vale (This is Where It Ends), Black Veil Brides

Brothers on a Hotel Bed, Death Cab for Cutie:

Spoiler

You may tire of me
As our December sun is setting
'Cause I'm not who I used to be

No longer easy on the eyes
But these wrinkles masterfully disguise
The youthful boy below

Who turned your way and saw
Something he was not looking for
Both a beginning and an end

But now he lives inside
Someone he does not recognize
When he catches his reflection on accident

On the back of a motorbike
With your arms outstretched trying to take flight
leaving everything behind

But even at our swiftest speed
We couldn't break from the concrete
In the city where we still reside

And I have learned
That even landlocked lubbers yearn
For the sea like navy men

'Cause now we say goodnight
From our own separate sides
Like brothers on a hotel bed
Like brothers on a hotel bed
Like brothers on a hotel bed
Like brothers on a hotel bed

You may tire of me
As our December sun is setting
'Cause I'm not who I used to be

One kingdom's fall is another kingdom's freedom
One sovereign's war is another sovereign's peace
One mother's pride is another mother's sorrow
Their tears both soak the land that they love
