Good Play of Words?

Question

For my English class, I need a good play of words, but I need to take them from somewhere, and write where it's from, and a little info about it. Here are a few from Greenday...

"One light, one mind flashing in the dark, blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts"-
^I like this play of words, because it's "blinded by the silence"

"With an angel face, and a taste for suicidal"-
^I like this because it's saying, a beautiful person, with a deadly sense "angel face-taste for suicidal"

"Stepped ou tof the line, like a sheep runs from the herd, marching out of time, to my own beat now, the only way I know"-
^I like this one because it's comparing individuality, it's a simile it uses "like"

"Everybody do the propaganda"
^I like this because it's simple, and propaganda is done by everyone, and when he sings it it's in a form of sarcasm, because everyone already does it

You can pick one of these or donate your own, but make sure it's Greenday, and explain why it is a fair play.

Answer 1

I do not know what or who "Greenday", though I suspect it to be a popular music group.

However, this is something similar from 'my age' of music

"And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And echo'd in the sound of silence."

---echo'd in the sound of silence--- how does silence echo? by words left unsaid?

Answer 2

Oh, that first one is good. It has a sort of meter to it that makes it pleasing when said aloud. <3 I like it. The 'blinded by the silence' is a cute word-play as well; for a moment your mind pervieves a light (because of the word 'blinded'), but when silence is mentioned it makes a unique and interesting emotion. I like.
