I know it’s childish but Rainbows by The Moldy Peaches has long been my favourite opening line

You gotta have rain to have a rainbow
You gotta have dick to have a dick in your mouth

I feel obligated to throw some Titus Andronicus in:

that everything is inherently worthless
And there is nothing in the universe
with any kind of objective purpose

I hope that our few remaining friends
Give up on trying to save us
I hope we come up with a fail-safe plot
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us

a couple hymns of confession and songs that recognise our sick obsessions.

And in fact another good Kasher one:
The first time that I met her I was throwing up in a ladies room stall

You could really fill up the whole thread with Titus Andronicus, Patrick Stickles is seriously one of the few greatest lyricists ever.

Stop making the eyes at me
I’ll stop making the eyes at you
