Musicians are getting lazy on lyrics and we just eat it right up

This makes me even more angry because I like these songs and the stupid lyrics are easily avoidable.

Bruno Mars, "Should of known you was trouble from the first kiss, had your eyes wide open. Why were they open?" 
First, I have a problem with the logistics of this statement. How the hell do you know she was kissing with her eyes open if you didn't have your eyes open too? Was there a group of people watching you? Maybe. I'll let that go.

My main problem is that this statement is lazy and repetitive. When I listen to this song, because I do like it, I say "...had your eyes wide open. Who fucking does that?" It's different, sticks to the idea and I like saying fuck.

Black Eyed Peas, namely Fergie "I was born to get wild! That's my style! If you didn't know that, Well, baby, now you know now".

First of all, that statement is just plain dumb. The statement adds nothing to the song. It's fluff and not the good kind of fluff certain actors get from runaways and aspiring actresses. Just because you're BEP and you're awesome doesn't mean you can just drop the fucking ball. If you've run out of ideas, just stop making albums. You have enough money to retire.

Secondly, "now you know now". Who wrote this? A 5 year old? Redundancy, party of 4, your table is ready. You already indicated that this event, which does not need to be stated in the first place, is happening now. "Just lettin' you know, now let's all go get down" would have been lame but acceptable. It wouldn't have made my fucking ears bleed. That wasn't hard, was it?
