Best Lyrics of the 21st Century

This is kind of the reverse version of Swellow's Worst Lyrics list.
The Top Ten

2 "Cause I don't have to fake it. If I keep on working it, a billion hits is what I'll get." Ross Lynch, A Billion Hits

4 "Tell your boyfriend, if he says he's got beef, that I'm a vegetarian and I ain't f---ing scared of him" 3OH!3, Don't Trust Me

I don't even like 3OH! 3, and I actually find this lyric really clever.

14 "Just a second we're not broken, just bent, and we can learn to love again" P!nk, Just Give Me a Reason

This is a very good lyric.
