corgan, hetfield, dude from editors.
I always find it most offensive when lyrics are presented with gravitas and conviction as though they are enormously profound and insightful when really they are ugly lists of cliche which only successfully express the extraordinary level of delusion under which the writer labours... Corgan wins hands down (infact he should probably have had his voice box removed the very first time he announced that the chorus for bullet with butterfly wings was going to be "despite all my rage I'm still just a rat in a cage") but Hetfield and the arse in editors are all putting up decent stabs (hetfield has a particularly compelling narrative as he started out as an awful lyricist and is actually managing to get worse as time goes by).
