Best single line lyric in a song?

"Rules" as guidelines or suggestions, not actual rules. Referring to people posting lyrics longer than a single line.

i'm sorry? are you sure you're in the right forum? i think we have a... german? forum. maybe you should try there. they probably have tones ruels (?) there, but you might want to try the italian board for your guidolines, whatever those are.

[rosco rathbone]

Fuck this and fuck that, fuck it all and fuck the fucking brat
She don't want a baby who looks like that, I don't want a baby who looks like that

That's a good example of my theory of lyrics, which is that in rock they don't stand alone. By itself it's lame doggrel, but in the context of the finest song in punk rock, delivered in that inimitable snarl, it's shakespeare.
