    i smile but who am i kidding?
    no matter how cold the winter there's a springtime ahead
    won't someone save the world?
    i'd rather be with an animal
    got a recipe for anus ankle soup
    if i had known then what i know now
    fuck it, we'll disappear
    it's an art to live with pain
    we were but stones, your light made us stars
    this is not for you, FUCK YOU!
    are you getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
    this one means a lot: you can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets or you can come to terms and realize you're the only one who cannot forgive yourself
    i'll never suck satan's dick!
    life has nothing to do with killing time

    Chin of stone, heart of clay

    Things were different then, all is different now

    I nightbird is following you, all the time

    Im questioning my education rewinding what does it show

    Three crooked hearts... Swirls all around her

    red man's your neighbor, call it behavior
    while you're climbing up slippery hills

    Like a cloud dropping rain undiscarding all thought

    - These two is not so much a 'one line' rather 'genious'

    As privileged as a whore...victims in demand for public show
    Swept out through the cracks beneath the door
    Holier than thou, how?
    Surrendered...executed anyhow
    Scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor...

    I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
    I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky, but why
    Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine
    'Life comes from within your heart and desire'

    well, this is more of an eV one-liner/quote from a PJ show so you'll have to excuse me but i just couldn't resist:

    "it says "play The Kids Are Alright" right? i played it asshole, at 7:30!"

    otherwise, i rather like the one-liner/original lyric from the pre-Yield version of Brain of JFK:

    "the whole world will all be different then/go to fuckin' Hell if you don't believe it,..."
