Just about any lyric Roger Waters ever penned. One of my favorites is...

The paper holds their folded faces to the floor, and every day the paper boy brings more

- Brain Damage, Dark Side of the Moon

If you look at top 10 songer writers Roger is not even in there, Mick Jagger / Keith Richards are number 6 WTF

Tbh, he wouldn't be on my top 10 list of songwriters, either. A songwriter is one who's proficient at every aspect of song creation, from rhythm to melody to arranging and instrumentation. Paul Simon is a songwriter, perhaps the best ever. Billy Joel, Paul McCartney, Smokey Robinson, Randy Newman, Brian Wilson, Freddy Mercury and Dolly Parton are songwriters.

Now, if we're talking top 10 lyricists then Roger would definitely make the list, along with Bernie Taupin, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Jim Morrison. I'd even tack on the somewhat controversial Neil Peart in the honorable mentions.
