What drummer was the better songwriter?

This thread is about what drummer is the better lyricist. It's not about a who is the better drummer.

Jim Capaldi - Traffic
Dave Clark - The Dave Clark Five
Phil Collins - Genesis, solo
Neil Peart - Rush
Ringo Starr - The Beatles, solo

I'm not sure if Neil Peart qualifies as a songwriter, he writes most of Rush's lyrics while Geddy and Alex write the intrumental pieces.

Was he writing lyrics and drumming for Hüsker Dü or is he like Dave Grohl? after drumming he strapped on a guitar and became a songerwriter/guitarist.

No he was writing songs & singing them when he was with Husker Du as well as playing drums.

Grant Hart wrote & sang his songs , Bob Mould did the same with his songs.

i raise you a Mickey Hart.

in all seriousness Tomas Haake is pretty sweet, he writes the majority of Meshuggah's lyrics and pretty much headmans the group.

Christian Vander wins by default.
