Confusing Lyrics

Ok I'm not professional lyricist. Let's just get that on the table now before I get some bad attention. But there are some lyrics that are just really really... how should I put this?.... well they're not good. When I hear some of these lyrics the only thought I can muster up in my little know-it-all head is, "...huh?"

Kanye West - Stronger
"But I'll do anything for a blonde dyke"
Well... what're you gonna do with her when (if) you do get her? I mean... she's kinda into chicks, and you're not a chick. Think about it.

Flobots - Handlebars
"I can make computers survive aquatic conditions"
Ok now how in the hell could you do that? I know a lot of rappers like to say how great they are at everything, but now you're just speaking of the impossible. Come on, dude. That's not even clever.

Carrie Underwood - Before He Cheats
"Carved my name into his leather seat"
Now I'm not sure how they do it in the south, but I'm going to guess that destroying someone else's car intentionally MIGHT put you in jail or at least a fine of some sorts. Now unless this man has dated at least 4 or 5 Carrie Underwoods (which would be a very strange coincidence), I'm pretty sure you're epic "cheating man ego crushing" is going to backfire. 

Lil Wayne - A Milli
"I'm a venereal disease like a menstrual bleed"
Ok now that's just gross. The whole song is a typical rap song about how great he is at everything, and this is in 
the first verse. Not exactly a great image when it comes to self promotion.

Shakira - Hips Don't Lie
"She makes a man want to speak Spanish"
I didn't know a sudden desire to learn the Spanish language was a sign of being turned on. 

Madonna - I Love New York
"I don't like other cities/but I like New York/Other places make me feel like a dork"
Alright, aside from the lame rhyming, Madonna, don't you live in London? "Paris and London, Baby you can keep." Not cool, Madge not cool.



Again, I'm not professional lyricist, but these need at least a second look.
