I love Linkin Park, one of my favorites, but this one line from "Pushing Me Away" is absolutely horrid. Besides that, it's a great song.
"Even those who never frown eventually break down"
Incubus - When it Comes
"When it feels, it feels like trading brains with an imbecile
For real"
It's easier for me to find lyrics in songs that I like but make me cringe than for me to find completely retarded lyrics throughout a song, because, well, I try to avoid those all together. But, there is one that I can't believe hasn't been said yet ...
"I like big butts and I cannot lie, you other brothers can't deny!..."

Some of you might claim I'm cheating by quoting a country music song
, but when I saw the video for this song the other day I stopped everything I was doing and sat slackjawed pondering the true horribleness of these lyrics:
Comments:
Comparing Mona Lisa to Marylin Monroe?
Elvis and and Mozart had to die to be famous? Yeah, they weren't at all famous in their own time, were they?
"Probably never find a pen that writes a symphony"- That's for damn sure if you recorded this song.
And "building" rhymes with "children"? Huh. You learn something new everyday.
In conlusion, I've never before seen anything that tries to be such a deep song be so trite and meaningless.
, but when I saw the video for this song the other day I stopped everything I was doing and sat slackjawed pondering the true horribleness of these lyrics:
Something Worth Leaving Behind
-LeeAnn Womack
Hey Mona Lisa, who was Leonardo?
Was he Andy Warhol?
Were you Marilyn Monroe?
Hey Mozart, what kind of name is Amadeus?
It's kinda like Elvis-
You gotta die to be famous.
I may not go down in history,
I just want someone to remember me.
I'll probably never hold a brush
that paints a masterpeice;
Probably never find a pen
that writes a symphony;
But if I will love, then I will find
That I have touched another life
And that's something-
Something worth leaving behind.
Hey Midas, you say you have the magic touch
But even all that shiny stuff
Someday is gonna turn to dust.
Hey Jesus, it must have been some Sunday morning-
In a blaze of glory-
We're still tellin' your story.
I may not go down in history,
I just want someone to remember me.
I'll probably never dream a dream
and watch it turn to gold.
No, I'll never lose my life
to save another soul.
But, if I will love then I will find
That I have touched another life
And that's something-
Something worth leaving behind
Hey baby see the future that we're building,
Our love lives on in the lives of our children,
And that's something-
Something worth leaving behind.

Not sure it'd qualify for the worst lyrics, but Sabbath's "War Pigs" has the following gem:
"Generals gathered in their masses /
Just like witches at black masses"
Now this is hysterical for rhyming. When creating a rhyme it's cheating to use the exact same word! I know there are some other songs that do this too. List any you can think of

more torture
objection (tengo)
Next to her cheap silicon, I look minimal
That's why in front of your eyes I'm invisible
But you've got to know small things also count
Better put your feet on the ground
And see what it's about, so

I thought I already responded to this one, but it must have been the same topic on another board....
Anyway, I have the WINNER for WORST LYRICS!!
These lyrics come from a platinum album from 1984, and I actually like the song, but the lyrics are, well, here they are...
"You're lighting up like sparkles
You look like you are ghosts
You put your hands up in the air
and treat me like a host."
I have NO idea what they were thinking (or was that drinking), but QUIET RIOT sure came up with THE ABSOLUTE WORST LYRICS OF ALL TIME THERE!!!
Those priceless lyrics, by the way, came from the song, "Scream and Shout," from their Condition Critical album. I love that album, but those lyrics are just, well...
and 
and 
and (most importantly)
(They are, by far, the worst lyrics on that album.)

If any of you are children of the 80's, there is a single word that should freeze your heart, stop your breath and terrify your soul.
That word is... Sussudio.
That said, Bon Jovi's "You lost more than that in my back seat bay-beee" runs a pretty damn close #2.

Su-su-Sudio!
I still say that those Quiet Riot lyrics take the cake - AND the prize for worst lyrics.

I think Lenny has a "Cliches That Rhyme" lyric book that he uses to write all his songs.

Any song that rhymes problem with solve them.
i hate that so much, especially since 'problem' is
singular and 'solve them' suggests more than one
problem. and even if they say 'problemS' it still pissed
me off!

1. Alanis Morrisette has some of the absolutely worst lyrics. Very wince-inducing. There's just too many examples to cite specifics.
2. I love the Refreshments, but their lyric "Cars break down and people break down and other things break down too" is pretty lame. Not only that, but they use the same lyric in two different songs on two different albums.
3. Again, I love Jethro Tull, but in "Said she was a dancer," the lyric "I'm your pepsi cola but you won't take me out the can" (sic) is pretty horrible.
4. I don't think Andrew W.K. qualifies in this contest. I don't think he's trying hard enough or taking himself seriously enough for his lyrics to matter.
