What's your favorite lyric from a song?

he's the farmers barren fields
the force the army wields
the expession in the faces of the starving children
the power of the man
he's the fuel that drives the clan
he's the motive and conscience of the murderer
he's the preacher on tv
the false sincerity
the form letter that's written by the big computers
he's the nuclear bombs
the kids with no moms
and i'm fearful that he's inside me

American Jesus, Bad Religion

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
