Maybe if there were some that weren't utter shit, I'd agree. But the thing is that before this, the only results I was getting were inferior search results.
The fundamental problem is a technicality of the songwriting process; To assure that lyricists and composers both got fair shares, songs consist of two separate entities for copyright purposes; Their lyrics, and their music.
Therefore, when companies protect copyright, they need to protect copyright for the individual parts. Ergo, they go after lyrics sites, since they're committing wholesale infringement.
Rather than the record labels setting up their own distribution sites, so that they could control and monetize, they viewed these as valuable property - since, after all, they're half the value of the song! The same problem exists with Guitar tabs, though as they're more specialized the community has mostly rallied to make those sites palatable.
I just searched for "Ashtray Monument Lyrics" on DuckDuckGo and it came up with http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/jawbreaker/ashtray_monume...
I'm running AdBlock and the lyricsmode.com page came up completely acceptably.
p.s. If you like the song, here's a live version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaEvlHNPpQQ
An (anonymous) search for "shake hands with beef lyrics" turns up azlyrics.com, lyricsfreak.com as #1 and #2, followed by Wikipedia (which doesn't have lyrics) and then metrolyrics.com - probably the best of a bad bunch.
Tack "genius" onto the search and it'll show up, but right now it's hardly competing for first-page search results.
