What are the best lyrics to use for a senior quote?

I DARE YOU TO MOVE.

"Melt" Monster Magnet

I'm not afraid not at all
I watch them rise and then fall
but I remember
when we were young

I actually used this Joy Division quote on my senior page. I was a pretentious and gloomy child. If you are too, go for it.

Never cared about me
Only wanted to be your friend,
Now I know that it's gotta end

Never cared a thing about me,
And now, I will

I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU
I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU

If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one little hour
Cute in a stupid ass way

And if I joined the social whirl
Became procurer of young girls
Then I could have my own bordellos
My record would be number one
And I'd sell records by the ton
All sung by many other fellows
My name would then be handsome Jack
And I'd sell boats of opium
Whisky that came from Twickenham
Authentic queens
And phony virgins
I'd have a bank on every finger
A finger in every country
And every country ruled by me
I'd still know where I'd want to be
Locked up inside my opium den
Surrounded by some china men
I'd sing the song that I sang then
About the time they called me "Jacky"

If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one little hour
Cute in a stupid ass way

Now, tell me, wouldn't it be nice
That if one day in paradise
I'd sing for all the ladies up there
And they would sing along with me
And we be so happy there to be
Cos' down below is really nowhere
My name would then be "Jupiter"
Then I would know where I was going
Become all knowing
My beard so very long and flowing
If I became deaf, dumb and blind
(was: If I could play deaf, dumb and blind)
Because I pitied all mankind
And broke my heart to make things right
I know that every single night
When my angelic work was through
The angels and the Devil too
Could sing my childhood song to me
About the time they called me "Jacky"

If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one little hour
Cute in a stupid ass way

His powers unknown by man
To catch a glimpse if he can
Wandering deep polar caps
Communication with saucer

Abominable nomad
The ancient monks know his clan
The time of yeti will rise
Because his ways have been wise

The yeti's feet take flight, upon the tundran ice
Carries the saucer's key, upon the space bound seed

The yeti's feet take flight, upon the tundran ice
Carries the saucer's key, upon the space

Uh-huh

And this was in 96, just for context.

Many dreams come true
and some have silver linings
I live for my dream
and a pocketful of gold

The coolest was from a stoic Asian hipster who put

Ah wassa born...
And Lord shakin, even then was dumpt into some icy font,
like some great stinky unclean!
From slum-chuch to slum-church, ah spilt mah heart
To some fat cunt behind a screen...

Evil poppin eye presst up to the opening
He'd slide shut the lil perforated hatch...at night mah body
blusht
To the whistle of the birch
With a lil practice ah soon learnt to use in on mahself
Punishment?! Reward!! Punishment?! Reward!!
Well, ah tied on...percht on mah bed ah was...
sticken a needle in mah arm...

Ah tied off! Fucken wings burst out mah back
(Like ah was cuttin teeth!!)
Ah took off!!!
(Rats in Paradise! Rats in Paradise!)
There's a mutiny in Heaven!

Oh Lord, ah git down on mah knees
(Ah git down on mah knees and start to pray)

Wrapped in mah mongrel wings, ah nearly freeze
In the howlin wind and drivin rain
(All the trash blowin round 'n' round)
>From slum-heaven into town
Ah take mah tiny pain and rollin back mah sleeve
(Roll anna roll anna roll anna roll)
Ah yank the drip outa mah vein! UTOPIATE! Ah'm bailin out!
UTOPIATE!
If this is Heaven ah'm bailin out!
Mah threadbare soul teems with vermin and louse
Thoughts come like a plague to the head...in God's house!
Mutiny in Heaven!
(Ars infectio forco Dio)
To the plank!
(Rats in Paradise! Rats in Paradise!)
Ah'm bailin out!
(Hail Hypuss Dermio Vita Rex!)
Hole inna ghetto! Hole inna ghetto!
(Scabio Murem per Sanctum...Dio, Dio, Dio)

I have a mansion, forget the price
Ain't never been there, they tell me it's nice
I live in hotels, tear out the walls
I have accountants pay for it all

They say I'm crazy, but I have a good time
I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime
Life's been good to me so far

My Maserati does one-eighty-five
I lost my license, now I don't drive
I have a limo, ride in the back
I lock the doors in case I'm attacked

I'm makin' records, my fans, they can't wait
They write me letters, tell me I'm great
So I got me an office, gold records on the wall
Just leave a message, maybe I'll call

Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through
Everybody say I'm cool, he's cool
I can't complain but sometimes I still do
Life's been good to me so far

I go to parties, sometimes until four
It's hard to leave when you can't find the door
It's tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody's so different, I haven't changed

They say I'm lazy but it takes all my time
Everybody say oh, yeah, oh, yeah
I keep on going, guess I'll never know why
Life's been good to me so far, yeah, yeah, yeah

I had a handout in a class at Hampshire summer math class where the groovy teacher put this at the top:

Sometimes I almost feel
Just like a human being

But that's probably too antisocial for an HS Yearbook quote.

Trite But Better: "Everybody is a star, I can feel it when you shine on me; I love you for who you are, not for what you feel you need to be."

Underutilized: "Out of college, money spent, see no future, pay no rent, all the money's gone, nowhere to go."

Better: any lines from Roky Erikson's "You're Gonna Miss Me"

You give something up for everything you gain/
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain/
Pay for your ticket and don't complain/
-- Bob Dylan, Silvio

Sarcastic Answer: Something by Cannibal Corpse.

or it would have been from the only record i listened to senior year, prince's album controversy, which would have ruled so much that i would have just exploded in coolosity

My derring-do
Allows me to
Dance the rigadoon
Around you

or substitute
"ring or two" for "rigadoon"
to get what I thought the lyric was.

There's just one other thing
That you should do
To thine own self be true

- "Flashback", Ministry

Alternately:

There's more to life than books, you know
(But not much more)

- "Handsome Devil", The Smiths

Step back you're dancing kinda close
I feel a little poke coming through

Next-"Too Close"
On you

"I be droppin' science like Cosby droppin' babies"

"You won’t have Nixon to kick around anymore, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference."

I am lame.
