Best single line lyric in a song?

Just turn your head
and spit me out.

December - Collective Soul

‘And I need you more than want you,
And I want you for all time.’

Wichita Lineman, Jimmy Webb.
 
If we could start again
Would that've changed the end
We remember everything, everything FFDP
 
It’s a bit more then a single line, but this section hits for me and didn’t want miss the point by splitting it.

See, we've all got somethin' that we trapped inside
That we try to suffocate, you know, hopin' it dies
Try to hold it underwater but it always survives
Then it comes up out of nowhere like an evil surprise
Then it hovers over you to tell you millions of lies
You don't relate to that? Must not be as crazy as I am
The point I'm makin' is the mind is a powerful place
And what you feed it can affect you in a powerful way
 
On a morning from a Bogart movie.

I think it sets the whole song up, but the whole first verse does it for me.
 
I said, "We must get together,"
Though I knew it'd never be arranged,
And she gave me twenty dollars for a two-fifty fare,
And she said, "Harry, keep the change."
 
The Monster ~John Kaye Steppenwolf~

The spirit was freedom and justice
And it's keepers seem generous and kind
It's leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won't pay it no mind
'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
And now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it's all just an echo of what they've been told
Yeah, there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watchin'
