I never really had a problem with any of The Clash's lyrics. But I guess Joe Strummer (RIP) does have a British accent and some Americans seem to have trouble understanding our accents.

If you want truely nonsensical lyrics, then you have to look towards that fast heavy genre known fondly to many as "metalcore".<br><br>A good example of these are <a href='http://www.purevolume.com/everytimeidie' target='_blank'>Every Time I Die</a><br><br><br>The following are the lyrics to "The Logic Of Crocodiles" (which can be heard and believed at the above link)<br><br>i am a very important person.<br>i've acquired a genetically altered handshake capable of speeds up to 30 mph.<br>hair arranged by the most advanced landscape surveillance operators our <br>company can afford.<br>i have a very expensive pen.<br>i use big words quite often in substitution for semantically equivalent words.<br>i attribute this success to my professional demeanor and my strong stock <br>portfolio.<br>though it may not appear so, i am quite comfortable in my surroundings.<br>i have everything, let me show you around.<br>smile you pair of pants, it's not often you get this chance.<br>love is just an exchangeof corporate documents.<br>i've reviewed your rapport and i feel you're a prospect for mechanical <br>salvation.<br>this is a joint venture that will be mutually advantageous to both parties <br>involved.<br>technically this is just a business merger.<br>a consolidation of liquid assets.<br>we are respectively geared towards customer service.<br>there is a great possibility for corporate sponsorship if you're willing,<br>i am sure we could synchronize agendas.<br>swift, and efficient satisfaction.<br>through innovative planning,<br>we could form a strong strategic partnership capable of overcoming sensitive<br>and adverse predicaments which will be discussed at the next goals assessment <br>meeting.<br>promotion possibility and additional benefits are diagrammed in my <br>preliminary objective outline.<br>raises are granted based on performance
