I've always thought that there are nuggets of profound philosophy to be found in classic rock songs. Here's a few samples. I invite you to contribute more.
"You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you just might find you get what you need." - The Rolling Stones
"No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown, in the end there is one dance you'll do alone." Jackson Browne
"Get it while you can." Janice Joplin
"If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with." Crosby, Stills, and Nash
"No one gets out of here alive." Jim Morrison (a book title, not a lyric).
"Lighten up while you still can, don't even try to understand. Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy." Jackson Browne
"It's not dark yet, but it's getting there." Bob Dylan
"And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." The Beatles
"Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now." Bob Dylan
"All lies and jests, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest." Paul Simon
"When ya ain't got nothin', you got nothin' to lose." Bob Dylan
"All you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be." Pink Floyd
"Don't think it can't happen just because it hasn't happened yet." Jackson Browne
