Interesting but probably quite pointless question

:lol: That song rocks.

Pantera wrote some fucking cool lyrics, especially on Vulgar Display of Power....one of the best metal albums.....ever.

Not metal so much, but Suicidal Tendencies wrote some awesome ones, and Jane's Addiction's lyrics can be great too.

Also, I think there are plenty of brilliant lyricists in metal, just as many as any other genre.
Plenty of crappy lyricists in all genres as well. But the worst has to be the person who came up with the chorus to "The Wizard Of Oz". I mean ...

"We're off to see the wizard,
the wonderful wizard of Oz,
we hear he is a wizzable wiz,
if ever a wiz there was,
if ever a wever a wiz there was the wizard of oz is one because,
because, because, because,
because of the wonderful things he does...."

They can't blame it on drugs - look at Pink Floyd afterall :)
