The lyrics that come to mind are:
"Badger Badger Badger Badger Mushroom Mushroom"
"Who Has To Know My Dirty Little Secret, Don't Tell Anyone Or You'll Be Just Another Regret"
And various parts of Dragostea Din Tei ( the Numa Numa song )
All of these thanks to my early days on the interwebs.

Hey Pacman. What's up?
ME YOU BITCHES
❤️
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky
But why, why, why can't it be, oh can't it be mine?
too many to list really.
Top of my head:
To me, coming from you, friend is a four letter word. When i go fishing for the words, i am wishing you would say to me, i'm really only praying that, the words you'll soon be saying, like, betray the way you feel about me.
De-doo-doo-doo, de-daa-daa-daa
“You'll never thrill the bold
Divisions in the sky
Of whom predestined you to always
Be the last in line”

And who the hell are you to tell me that I can’t leave my kid in the car?
Days, up and down they come Like rain on a congadrum Forget most, remember some But don't turn none away. Everything is not enough And nothin' is to much to bear. Where you been is good and gone All you keep is the getting there.
To live is to fly Low and high, So shake the dust off of your wings And the sleep out of your eyes.
...
We all got holes to fill Them holes are all that's real. Some fall on you like a storm, Sometimes you dig your own.
The choice is yours to make, Time is yours to take Some sail upondive into the sea, Some toil upon the stone.
To live is to fly Low and high, So shake the dust off of your wings And the sleep out of your eyes
Townes Van Zandt
Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
The unfortunate thing about this lyric is that people who have been asked to do nothing more than help keep our fellow citizens safe, healthy, and educated, think this is for them.

And some of those that burn crosses, are the same that hold office.
From wikipedia:
Zack de la Rocha sometimes changed the lyrics in the second verse from "Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses" to "Some of those that burn crosses are the same that hold office" when playing live.
Saw him live. Can confirm.

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
You can just replace company store with whatever capitalist institution owns you. 🫠
It's all one big company store
^(OK, not all, but it's hard to escape)^
Truth. My grandpa sang sixteen tons all the time and taught me from a young age that the bourgeoisie doesn't give a fuck about us poor folk and that bootstraps weren't made to pull yourself up with. He taught me to take every advantage in life that I can get and to never stop fighting for what is right.
He lived an absolutely wild life before settling down with my grandma, so his super leftist ways made sense in a dude his age. I have him and my mom to thank for making me such a radical lefty. I'm actually going to the next no kings with my mom lol
Sounds like a legend
1000%
He met one of the first ladies, I can't remember which one, in passing in a hotel while he was drunk off his ass. He told her the flowers she was holding were ugly. He only later found out he'd insulted a first lady.
He was also banned from entering the state of New York after he pissed in a rich, influential guy's coat pocket while high as fuck on heroin. Rich dude sent him to PA for rehab instead of having him see jailtime. My grandpa stayed because he met my grandma after leaving the halfway house lol.
Haha, I wanna hang out with him
He was fun lol.
And then one day you find Ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run You missed the starting gun
-Pink Floyd
I almost cry every time I hear those lyrics.

I've been waiting for the next Vengabus since 1998. Our public transport infrastructure is a fucking joke.
