Best single line lyric in a song?

"Your baby doesn't love you anymore"

As an opening line that declares the song's intent, it can't be beaten.
 
There is no monopoly on common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology, regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
 
I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop top
Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on
 
Grace Cummings - A Precious Thing
Love is just a thing
That I'm trying to live without
And oh, what a precious thing
But it's nothing I care about


The sentiment slayed...
 
"and so I wake in the morning and I step outside and I take a deep breath and I get real high and I scream from the top of my lungs what's going on"
