Best single line lyric in a song?

"I'd rather laugh with the sinners than die with the saints. The sinners are much more fun. Only the good die young."
 
I was born here and I'll die here against my will
I know it looks like I'm movin' but I'm standin' still
Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from

Bob Dylan--

One line just isn't enough.
 
Led Zeppelin

Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run,
There's still time to change the road you're on
And it makes me wonder

🐾Kant
 
The light of day to contemplate your body

And in the original Portuguese:
A luz do dia a contemplar teu corpo

Nascente sing by Milton Nascimento
Written by Flavio Venturini / Marilo Antunes
 
I'm going to ride that horse we've beaten to death and deliver its stinking carcass to your doorstep.
 
You were riding on your mother’s hip, she was shorter than the corn
And all the years you took from her, just by being born.
 
Four thousand men died in the water here and five hundred more were thrashing madly as parasites might in your blood.
 
Your head is humming and it won’t go in case you don’t know.

But, what’s puzzling you is the nature of my game.

You’ve got something about you, something I need.

Daddy, what’d ya leave behind for me!

We don’t need no education; we don’t need no thought control.

Take a look to the sky just before you die. It’s the last time you will.

Before you see the light you must die.

You’re a natural, a beating heart of stone. You gotta be so cold to make it in this world.

Tell ‘em all hooka smoking caterpillar has given you the call.

Life in the fast lane will surely make you lose your mind.
