Song Parody Fragments:

"All There Is"
Better Lyrics:
This song goes out to all the homeless hobos
Living inside a box beside the Shop n’ Save
The dirty nomads, they eat breadcrumbs, not Kraft dinners
And mark signs on the sidewalk just so they can talk
And every one needs a bath, wears flannel, smells bad
They are homeless, they are dirty
Add it up, you get a hobo, or a migrant
Either term can be used
In suburbs, tell me
Are hobos all there is?
Original Lyrics:
This song goes out to all the hopeless sinners
With grave allegiances so meaningless and vain
The walking wounded, in a pageant of contenders
Who walk upon a rail of pain for just a pail of rain
And everything is barely mist, blood relations and bricks
My expression, my confession
Add it up, extract a lesson more than this
Once again, like a bullet
As a friend, tell me
Can that be all there is?

Inappropriate Lyrics:

"21st Century (Digital Boy)"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
Cat's foot, iron claw,
Neurosurgeons scream for more,
Innocence raped with napalm fire...
Why They're Inappropriate:
Well, they don't rhyme, they have nothing to do with the rest of the lyrics, they make no sense, and they're nicked from another song. Nice going, Mr Graffin...
Submitted by: Tim Kelby
 

Dirty Lyrics:

"I Love My Computer"
The Dirty Lyrics:
I love my computer you're always in the mood
I get so turned on, when I turn on you.
Why They're Dirty:
It's pretty simple. The first line is about sex, and the second line is about looking at porn.
