10 Worst Hard Rock Lyrics Of All Time

1. Photograph - Nickelback

For every song that means nothing, at least they have the right to exist. Hell, even the greatest acts of their respective genres from the Beatles to Led Zeppelin have made great art out of lyrics that mean absolutely nothing when strewn together. However, it's one thing to know that you're making a nonsense song. It's something else entirely when you think that nonsense is something fairly compelling.

After already making some of the blandest rock songs of their time with Someday and Rockstar, Nickelback's real turn into ballad territory on Photograph is the stuff of nightmares for anyone trying to examine rock lyrics. Though the actual construction of the tune is fairly straightforward about a dude going back to his hometown and feeling nostalgic, nothing connects into each other like it's supposed to. Thinking the nostalgia angle would just sell the rest of the tune, Chad Kroeger pays virtually no attention to connecting one instance to another, going from breaking into schools to immortalizing the age old question of what the hell was on Joey's head.

Compared to some of the more classic or unbearably cheesy songs that have gone down in history, the memes that have been made at this song's expense really say all you need to know about this dull as dishwater lyric sheet. You can call it memorable for sure, but this is a nostalgia trip that no one really wants to relive.

Bad Lyric: Look at This Photograph, Every Time I Do It Makes Me Left, How Did Our Eyes Get So Red and What the Hell is On Joey's Head.
