In the pop mode, Bob Dylan is hard to beat. In the classical, Puccini is very strong. In the silly love songs genre, who is better than Paul McCartney?

from my personal experience with music, I rank Nick Cave and David Bowie quite high on the list. Also Martin Gore, Thom Yorke. Favorite- i have to say Nick Cave.
This said, I will admit I am not familiar with some earlier so called great lyricists, such as Bob Dyllan, Eric Clapton. If i was, my opinion might be quite different

Marilyn Manson has very unique lyrics with a dark perspective, which is refreching in today's music scene. Bob Dylan had a way with words though. Mr. Tamborine Man and The Times They Are A-Changin' blow my mind every time I hear them.

This isn't even close. Bob Dylan isn't that good a singer/guitarist/harmonica player/pianist. But he is the greatest songwriter that has ever lived. Bar none.
edit: Wnenthus, Puccini didn't write his own librettos.

I believe Pete Wentz. He is amazing! You should listen to the Fall Out Boy Albums.
