"Who the hell needs lyrics anyway?" "You!" - Outkast seems to think so anyway. Or - if you're going to use language, why not make it signify? Just an idea...
But then again, that doesn't seem to be the modern way, now does it? McCain is beating Obama because he's better at dumb short answers. This is the easy way of thinking (and thus the most common) and McCain is better at looking (I hope its only looking) like he's your average dumb Joe. It says something that most of us don't think our president should be better than us. John McCain says "drill now!" and you might think - "but it won't lower the price of oil and we can't even start drilling for years" - but you've then used 15 more words than him and thus already lost.
To return to music, most of, say, Coldplay's lyrics are so general they mean nothing but some general emotional uplift, but Coldplay outsells Arcade Fire.
Human nature can be difficult to deal with sometimes...I just wish this country could get to appealing to the best in us again, somehow. Beats me how to do it though,

My grandma made a comment about how she didn't like McCain because he quickly answered who his valued supporters would be as unnamed elite world leaders ahead of Obama's reply of "my mom and my sister".
