Misrhymed Lyrics:
"Born To Run"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I wanna guard your dreams and visions Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims and strap your hands across my engines Why They're Misrhymed: since when does 'visions ' rhyme with 'engines'. ? as I reviewed the lyrics, I found a whole bunch of misrhymes in this song, but this is the craziest one.

Shakin' from a dream That all I seen was smiling faces Staring back at me Why They're Misrhymed: Besides the fact that this verse doesn't really make sense to me, 'dream' and 'me' do not rhyme. I like Bruce Springsteen, but his songs have a lot of words like this that almost rhyme but don't.

Why They're Inappropriate: Never pictured the boss as one for pedophilia, but a literal reading of this song sounds as if he's in competition with a young girl's father for her, um, favors. an 11 out of 10 on the disturbing scale.
Submitted by: Boo Radley

The Inappropriate Lyrics: Our Pa's each own one of the World Trade Centers.
For a kiss and a smile, I'll give mine all to you. Why They're Inappropriate: Before 9-11-01, these were really good lyrics. A great pick up line for the unsuspecting girl, but now, I guess the Boss will have to find a different landmark to add into that space.
