I actually like the line in "The Fly" best out of just about any U2 song - "Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief, all kill their inspiration and sing about their grief."
But Springsteen between '78 - '87 had great bits in just about every song he wrote in that period:
The River
"Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse"
Reason To Believe
"Take a baby to the river Kyle William they called him
Wash the baby in the water take away little Kyle's sin
In a whitewash shotgun shack an old man passes away take the body to the graveyard and over him they pray Lord won't you tell us,
Tell us what does it mean
At the end of every hard earned day people find some reason to believe"
.......I still go for the *really* profound stuff though...
The Girl Tried To Kill me" (Ice T)
"Now, I ain't no sucker on the weak tip
But let me tell you, she was on some motherfuckin' sex trip
Took me to her crib that night, leather and spikes
Broke out the rope and the dope strobe-light
And started buggin', lightin' candles all over the room
Then she did a backflip, landed on my dick
I knew that I would be dead soon
This girl tried to kill me, she didn't use a gun or a knife
This girl tried to kill me, took me within a inch of my life
This girl tried to kill me, she didn't use a bomb or a gun
This girl tried to kill me, homeboys, watch out for this one"

Pro Pain - The Truth Hurts:
"Stick 'em Up, Stick 'em Up, empty the drawer"
Said the banger to the owner of the liquor store
I was purchasin' some wine when I heard the pops
and the patron started screamin' someone call the cops
The cops were called and we were told the wait
But the death toll rose because the cops were late
The banger ran out, he was gone in a flash
He got away with the murder, and out with the cash
The truth hurts, the truth hurts, ...

Sex Pistols - God Save The Queen
When there's no future how can there be sin
We're the flowers in the dust bin
We're the poison in your human machine
We're the future, your future

If you should die before me ask if you can bring a friend. Pick a flower, hold your breath and drift away
Still Remains STP
Now I know what it was!
Now I know what he meant!
Now I know how it is!
Of course
Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
See my heart I decorate it like a grave
Down in a hole-AIC

Almost any Bob Dylan lyric would do for me but one of the absolute best (and guaranteed to make me sing at the top of my voice) is from "If you see her, say hello";
Oh, whatever makes her happy
I won't stand in her way
Though the bitter taste still lingers on
From the night i tried to make her stay

And just as I'm breaking free
She hangs herself in front of me
Slips her dress like a flag to the floor
And hands in the sky
Surrenders it all

Two of my favorite rap parts.
And my most coveted thing is my high self-esteem
And the low tolerance for them telling me how to lean
See the most important parts are the ones that are unseen
See the wings don't make you fly and the crown don't make you king
Now God don't like ugly, ain't too happy bout pretty
I am ignorance's enemy so stay out the vicinity of...
Lupe Fiasco - Gold Watch
Fear not, I purse my lips and kiss like a glock
Violence is a metaphor for victory's plot
Change is inevitable but our death is not.
Saul Williams - Grippo

Be still now
I am with you,
I am deep within you;
You are at peace.
You cannot be harmed;
You will not suffer.
Breathe deeply,
Breathe in the healing love of the universe,
And breathe out the sickness which has taken you.
I am with you.

This is from some band most of you have never heard of, so no need to mention the name.
I am skin and bones, I am pointy nose, but it motherfuckin' makes me try.

Bauhaus-The Man With X Ray Eyes:
Chocolate power is so crisp
The atomic open house is really here
And we have gone so desperate
Your power knows no bounds
And heavier with time
Are our shoes
That no man would want to wear
New tread wipes a wet road so dry
it stings
