Ok, I know there's not a lot of GNR fans out there these days. But, one of the best lyrics of all time is on the Use Your Illusion I album, "Don't Damn Me".

"Your only validation is living your own life, vicarious existence is a f**king waste of time."

What's your favorite line of all time?

"Asked us if we were happy, we said we didn't know"

Dreamer Deceiver by Judas Priest, I know that they had a lot of cheesy lyrics, but the full lyrics to that song are amazing.

Swedish rocker Magnus Uggla once had a song and album title that went: "What's the use of killing yourself, when you can't hear the talk afterwards?"
..or as Pod (not the nu-metal band) sang "I'm so poor I can't pay attention"

silent man by dream theater has one of the best lines..

a question well served,
is silence like a fever?
a voice never heard
or a message with no receiver...

or another one by dream theater again called pull me under

...this world is spinning around me
this world is spinning without me
everday sends future to past
every breath brings me closer to my last...

"My love gun's loaded and she's in my sights,
Big game is waiting there inside her tights!
Big bottom, big bottom,
Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em!
Big bottom-drive me out of my mind!
How could I leave this behind?"

--"Big Bottom" by Spinal Tap

I always liked the lyrics of Iron Maiden's "Still Life". It tells a cool ghost story.

Take a look in the pool and what do you see.
In the dark depths there, faces beckoning me.
Can’t you see them it’s plain for all to see.
They were there, oh I know you don’t believe me.

Oh...I’ve never felt so strange,
But..I'm not going insane.

I’ve no doubt that you think I'm off my head.
You don’t say, but it’s in your eyes instead.
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool,
Something draws me there, I don’t know what to do.

Oh...they drain my strength away.
Oh...they’re asking me to stay.

Nightmares...spirit’s calling me.
Nightmares...they wont leave me be.

All my life’s blood is slowly draining away,
And I feel that I'm weaker every day.
Somehow I know I haven’t long to go,
Joining them at the bottom of the pool.

Now...I feel they are so near.
I...begin to see them clear.

Nightmares...coming all the time.
Nightmares...Will give me peace of mind.

Now it’s clear and I know what I have to do.
I must take you down there to look at them too.
Hand in hand then well jump right into the pool.
Can’t you see, not just me they want you too.

Oh...well drown together.
It... will be forever.

Nightmares...forever calling me.
Nightmares...Now we rest in peace.

"Nothing here remains
No future and no past
No one could foresee
The end that came so fast
Hear the prophet make his guess
That paradise lies to the west
So join his quest for the sun"

Sleletons of Society, by Slayer

When I get really frustrated with life I just chant the lyrics to this song under my breathe.

However, to make it a single line, I'll say. . .

"Well I know that you would love to go to heaven
but you know that you're just too afraid to die.
And I know that you would love to know the answers
But to you, the truth is just another lie"

Breaking all the Rules, by Ozzy

...although now that I think about it, that's not just a single line either, so let's see...

"What I have in store. . . what does the devil have to do with it!?"

Hatework, by Morbid Angel
