the dismemberment plan easily have the most original and intuitive lyrics written in the last 15 years. if you look up some of their stuff, especially on their last two albums, you'll see that travis morrison writes in an almost stream-of-conscienceness yet compact way, about subjects not usually covered. examples: the deadness inside the everyday bustle of a city (The City), nothing is special unless you make it so (Spider in the Snow), the hypocricy of right-wing style democracy (Pay for the Piano), etc.
