The last two verses (the rest is pretty memorable too) of Randy Newman's "God's Song"

The Christians and the Jews were having a jamboree
The Buddhists and the Hindus joined on satellite tv
They picked the four greatest priests
And they becan to speak
They said, "Lord a plague is on the world
Lord, no man is free
The temples that we built for you
Now crumble into the sea.
If you won't take care of us
Won't you please, please just let us be."
And the Lord said

"I burn down your cities...how blind you must be
I take from you your children, you say 'how blessed are we'
You all must be crazy to put your faith in me.
That's why I love mankind
You really need me
That's why I love mankind."
I find the Eagles "Get Over It" to be pretty funny. It is about people unwilling to take responsibility for their lives, and instead, hope to cash in on whatever "victim" status they can claim. The last few lines are:

Complain about the present
Blame it on the past
I'd like to find your inner child
And kick its little ass.
