I find that the lyrics of a great many songs seem to be a meaningless conflagration of words arranged in a pseudo-grammatical order that serve no purpose besides justifying the salary of the lead singer. That doesn't stop a song from being one of the greats, but it is one of the reasons I like parodies and songs from musicals, which actually have a topic (and often manage to be about something besides love and/or sex).

Take a look at Frank Zappa. His arrangements are fucking nuts, and his lyrics are quite abstract most of the time, but they mean things. Even "St. Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast" and "Father O'Blivion". I believe that they were both commenting on how absurd religion is.
