An important moment in the history of song lyrics.. What could very well be the first song (or one of the earliest) to use the F word itself;
John Lennon-Working Class Hero [1970]
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty-odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
There's room at the top they're telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
Even if it isn't actually the 'first' however, the lyrics still resonate as biting social commentary, represented through Lennon conveying a state of entrapment in societal convention and expectation. This is seen through apparent contradictions, paradoxes if you will, such as They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool. Of course, the chorus line is very ironic.

Tori Amos-Mr Zebra
Hello Mr Zebra
Can I have your sweater
Cos it's cold cold cold
In my hole hole hole
Ratatouille Stryychanine
Sometimes shes a friend of mine
With a gigantic whirlpool that will blow your mind
Hello Mr Zebra
Ran into some confusion with a Mrs crocodile
Furry mussels marching on
She thinks shes kaiser wilhelm
Or a civilkised syllabub
To blow your mind
Figure it out
Shes a goodtime fella
She's got a little fund to fight for Moneypennys rights
Figure it out
She's a goodtime fella
Too bad the burial was premature, she said
And smiled.
Now...I challenge anyone to figure out what in the hell this song is about! ???

Coldplay - The Scientist
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Coming back as we are
Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start

Nirvana - I hate myself and I want to die
Runny nose and runny yolk
Even if you have a cold still
You can cough on me again
I still havent had my full fill
Maybe someday what's the hassle?
Maybe someday what's the hassle?
Maybe someday what's the hassle?
Maybe someday what's the hassle?
Broken heart and broken bones
Think about some capsules of horse pills
One more quirky cliche'd phrase
You're the one I wanna refill
Maybe someday what's the hassle?
Maybe someday what's the hassle?
Maybe someday what's the hassle?
Maybe someday what's the hassle?
most people don't realize
that two large pieces of coral,
painted brown, and attached to his skull
with common wood screws can make a child look like a deer
Maybe someday what's the hassle?
Maybe someday what's the hassle?
Maybe someday what's the hassle?
Maybe someday what's the hassle?
Runny nose and runny yolk
Even if you have a cold still
You can cough on me again

Off he goes by Pearl Jam
Know a man
His face seemed pulled and tense
Like he's ridin' on a motorbike
In the strongest winds
So I approach with tact
Suggest that he should relax
But he's movin' much too fast
Said he'll see me on the flip side
On this trip he's taken for a ride
He's been takin' too much on
There he goes with his perfectly unkept hope
There he goes
He's yet to come back
But I seen his picture
It doesn't look the same up on the rack
We go way back
I wonder 'bout his insides
It's like his thoughts are too big for his size
He's been taken... where, I don't know
Off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope
There he goes
And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
For he still smiles... And he's still strong
Nothing changed but the surroundin' bullshit
That has grown
And now he's home and we're laughin'
Like we did, my same old, same old friend
Until a quarter to ten
I saw the strain creep in
He seems distracted and I know just what is going to happen next
Before his first step, he's off again
Know a man

one more................Know Your Enemy by RATM
Huh!
Yeah, we're comin' back then with another bombtrack
Think ya know what it's all about
Huh!
Hey yo, so check this out
Yeah!
Know your enemy!
Come on!
Born with insight and a raised fist
A witness to the slit wrist, that's with
As we move into '92
Still in a room without a view
Ya got to know
Ya got to know
That when I say go, go, go
Amp up and amplify
Defy
I'm a brother with a furious mind
Action must be taken
We don't need the key
We'll break in
Something must be done
About vengeance, a badge and a gun
'Cause I'll rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system
I was born to rage against 'em
Fist in ya face, in the place
And I'll drop the style clearly
Know your enemy...Know your enemy!
Yeah!
Hey yo, and dick with this...uggh!
Word is born
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Now I got no patience
So sick of complacence
With the D the E the F the I the A the N the C the E
Mind of a revolutionary
So clear the lane
The finger to the land of the chains
What? The land of the free?
Whoever told you that is your enemy?
Now something must be done
About vengeance, a badge and a gun
'Cause I'll rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system
I was born to rage against 'em
Now action must be taken
We don't need the key
We'll break in
I've got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
I've got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
Sick of sick of sick of sick of you
Time has come to pay...
Know your enemy!
Come on!
Yes I know my enemies
They're the teachers who taught me to fight me
Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission
Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams

Neutral Milk Hotel-Oh Comely.
Oh comely
I will be with you when you lose your breath
Chasing the only meaningful memory you thought you had left
With some pretty bright and bubbly terrible scene
That was doing her thing on your chest
But oh comely
It isn't as pretty as you'd like to guess
In you memory and drunk on your all to me
It doesn’t mean anything at all.
Oh comely
All of your friends are all letting you blow
Bristling and ugly
Bursting with fruits falling out from the holes
Of some pretty bright and bubbly friend
You could need to say comforting things in your ear
But oh comely
There isn't such one friend that you could find here
Standing next to me
He's only my enemy
I'll crush him with everything I own
Say what you want to say
Hang for your hollow ways moving your mouth to pull out all your miracle
For me
Your father made fetuses
With flesh licking ladies
While you and your mother
Were asleep in the trailer park
Thunderous sparks from the dark of the stadiums
The music and medicine you needed for comforting
So make all your fat fleshy fingers to moving
And pluck all your silly strings
And bend all your notes for me
Soft silly music is meaningful magical
The movements were beautiful
All in your ovaries
All of them milking with green fleshy flowers
While powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines
Smelling of semen all under the garden
Was all you were needing when you still believed in me
Say what you want to say
Hang for your hollow ways moving your mouth to pull out all your miracle
For me
And I know they buried her body with others
Her sister and mother and 500 families
And will she remember me 50 years later
I wished I could save her in
some sort of time machine
Know all your enemies
We know who our enemies are
Know all your enemies
We know who our enemies are
Goldaline my dear
We will fold and freeze together
Far away from here
There is sun and spring and green forever
But now we move to feel
For ourselves inside some stranger's stomach
Place your body here
Let your skin begin to blend itself with mine.
Oh comely
I will be with you when you lose your breath
Chasing the only meaningful memory you thought you had left
With some pretty bright and bubbly terrible scene
That was doing her thing on your chest
But oh comely
It isn't as pretty as you'd like to guess

Amazing lyrics making an amazing song..
One Down - Ben Folds
1, 2
1, 2, 3
I got up and I drove to work
on the wrong side of the road
and what the hell would I do
I must admit I didn't know
and Andrew came along y'all
to add a couple of lines or so
I got one I finished yesterday
and I got three-point-six to go
one down and three-point-six tomorrow
and I'm out of here
one down and three-point-six tomorrow
and I'm out of here
people tell me "Ben, just make up
junk and turn it in",
but I never could quite bring myself
to write a bunch of shit
don't like wasting time on music
that won't make me proud,
but now I've found a reason
to sit right down and shit some out
one down and three-point-six tomorrow
and I'm out of here
one down and three-point-six tomorrow
and I'm out of here
yeah, yeah
I love you more than
any man has loved before
I love you more than
all the stars up in the sky
I think that we should settle down
and live happily forever
after...
what do you think of that?
I'm really not complaining
I realize it's just a job
and I hate hearing bellyaching
rockstars whine and sob
'cause I could be bussin' tables
I could well be pumping gas
yeah, but I get paid much finer
for playing piano and kissing ass
and it's one-point-six yesterday
and three-point-six last
one down and three-point-six tomorrow
and I'm out of here
one down and three-point-six tomorrow
and I'm out of here
one down and three-point-six
one down and three-point-six tomorrow
and I'm out of here

Present Tense by Pearl Jam
Do you see the way that tree bends
Does it inspire
Leanin' out to catch the suns rays
A lesson to be applied
Are you gettin' somethin' out of this
All encompassing trip
You can spend your time alone redigestin' past regrets oh
Or you can come to terms
And realize your the only one who cannot forgive yourself oh
Makes much more sense to live in the present tense
Have you ideas on how this life ends
Checked your hands and studied the lines
Have you the belief that the road ahead
Ascends off into the light
Seems that needlessly it's gettin' harder
To find and approach a new way to live
Are we gettin' somethin' out of this
All encompassing trip
You can spend your time alone redigestin' past regrets oh
Or you can come to terms
And realize your the only one who cannot forgive yourself oh
Ahh makes much more sense to live...in the present tense

Tool - Lateralus
Black then white are
All I see
In my infancy
Red and yellow then came to be
Reaching out to me
Lets me see
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
Drawn beyond the lines of reason
Push the envelope
Watch it bend
Overthinking
Overanalyzing
Separates the body from the mind
Withering my intuition
Missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel thy moment
Drawing way outside the lines
Black then white are
All I see
In my infancy
Red and yellow then came to be
Reaching out to me
Lets me see
There is
So much
More and
Beckons me
To look through to these
Infinite possibilities
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
Drawn outside the lines of reason
Push the envelope
Watch it bend
Overthinking
Overanalyzing
Separates the body from the mind
Withering my intuition
Leaving opportunities behind
Feed my will to feel this moment
Urging me to cross the line
Reaching out to embrace the random
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come
I embrace my
Desire to
I embrace my
Desire to
Feel the rythym, to
Feel connected
Enough to step aside and
Weep like a widow, to
Feel inspired, to
Fathom the power, to
Witness the beauty, to
Bathe in the fountain, to
Swing on the spiral, to
Swing on the spiral, to
Swing on the spiral of
Our divinity and
Still be a human
With my feet upon the ground
I lose myself between the sounds
And open wide to suck it in
I feel it move across my skin
I'm reaching up and reaching out
I'm reaching for the random, for
Whatever will bewilder me
Whatever will bewilder me
And following our will and wind
We may just go where no one's been
We'll ride the spiral to the end
May just go where no one's been
Spiral out
Keep going
Spiral out
Keep going
Spiral out
Keep going
Spiral out
Keep going
