I mean, they're just the right type of lyrics for their music. Maybe it's easy to be a bit of a lyric snob and dismiss certain songs because their words ain't literature; but expecting every song to be so cerebral, is pretty daft. Plus, what else are we gonna air guitar to? I mean, rock...rocks! \m/

Look at it, they split up the 'lyric poem' and 'music' definitions of the nouns. Why could that be? Maybe because they are different?

The part which you quoted relates to lyric as an ADJECTIVE. Moley mentioned 'poems' and 'lyrics' which in that context were undoubtably the noun forms and you argued back with the definition of the word as an adjective.

Get your act together!
