Too everyone who likes to use song lyrics in their Facebook statuses

I understand.
I like quotes, too, I like reading them, I like quoting them, I like the little quirks in the english language that idioms reveal, reflect and make me laugh at. I am completely on board your crazy train road.
There is a FINE LINE, however, between posting song lyrics and posting quotes. Quotes, or spoken word, is said, written down, and shared to enable a mind to think in a new way. Song lyrics from country music, or from rap music, or from any of the myriad pop artists that top popularity charts do not, I REPEAT, do not constitute enough lyrical musicianship to rate sharing.
Unless it is deep, moving, inspirational, awe-inspiring, jaw-dropping, soul-lifting, spirit-filling, powerful, creating new methods of understanding, perking up the minds of nobel laureates, beautifully and masterfully executed by any non-human entity or capable of convincing aliens that humanity is a race worth saving, it does not make the cut.
If it is crude it does not make the cut.
If it uses any one cuss word more than twice, it does not make the cut.
If it includes the words swag, yolo, bitches or bling, FUCK YOU, it does not make the cut.
If it is misogynistic, homophobic, racist, anti-intellectual, anti-science, oriented to one of the two political representative parties owning America, man-hating, it does not make the cut.

Try at the very least to accomplish this one thing: If anything broadens your mind or expands your horizon, stretches your brain or touches the innermost reaches of your soul, then you may share it on Facebook. Life is short, share the good stuff.
