"War is stupid
And people are stupid"
--Culture Club's 'War Song'
Boy George again, and this time he's illin' like Bob Dylan. We wrote a song just like this in seventh grade, but the next line was, "And your mom is stupid."

What's so wrong about this lyric? The fact that it's true?
Christyat 2-24-2008
I agree with him.
Rubyat 2-29-2008
Well... it might be a dumb lyric BUT it's completely true. I agree. Although, if it's true that wouldn't make it dumb... it would make it fact... so, this one shouldn't be on the list.

I agree with this guy, your all surely stupid

"think you have a grudge against Culture Club."
I agree. Some of these lyrics are bad, but not the worst I've heard...and some of these seems you guys just used as "fillers". I could judge these better than whoever judged these.

This is a beautiful and wonderful anti war song... something that was pointing out the dumbing down of society... listen to it again... it's strong...

Get back to your job of picking up trash on the streets of NY you queer junkie.

Those lyrics make perfect since. War is stupid, and there are many stupid people in this world. I'd count you as one of them.

He was also totally strung out on heroin when he wrote this, don't forget.

Yes, because Boy George is totally not a person... wait -- actually, that statement is true.
babydollat 11-28-2008
Yeah, these lyrics worked out just fine.

i'm no fan of Culture Club, but I kinda like this line. cuz it's true.

i guess this song is an anti-war song... if im right

may be the author was annoyed because he felt he is one of the "people" so he listed this lyric as the 2nd worst ever...the author considers himself/herself not stupid... you people should not deal with writers, because they might write something about you...and you might not like it...culture club should have mentioned that writers are not included in the "people"...:-) too bad for culture club...

just about tired of the "this line makes perfect sense" argument. Even if the line "makes sense" it can still be terrible. This lyric is pure garbage. Just goes to show you that all you need is some decent musicians, a top producer, and a pretty face to make it.

So, Boy George is really inot repitition, huh? This line is true, but it could have been written better. I could write it better, but I would not want to piss off Boy George. He has had so amny face lifts he looks like an angry baby.

Although this song does indeed suck, people are stupid. War has its moments.

I just have to say, I know nothing about this artist or this song, and quite honestly, could care less. And although I totally disagree almost completely with this entire list (especially Elton John), I have to admit that this expose after these lyrics made me laugh out loud!

He forgot to say, Spinner Staff are STUPID! These lyrics are right on the money
