Can lyrics be regarded as literary works?

Specific analysis of specific problems.

If the lyrics are well written, such as Lin's Red Bean, Agreement, Hurrying for a Year, Heartbeat, Welcome to Beijing, Fang Wenqing's Blue and White Porcelain, Chrysanthemum Terrace, Tiny Land, Coral Sea, Crossing the Ocean to See You, When Love Is Past, etc. Snow, Wang Yajun's invisible wings, the content of Mayday (A Xin), I don't want to leave you alone. You are not really happy. Miao Jie's Our Song, Huangshi's Homesickness, and many classic works by Tayu Lo are actually beautiful modern poems. The rhythm, rhythm and lyricism of these good lyrics fully meet the requirements of modern poetry. If you sing directly without composing music, it is a typical modern poem. Literary works are generally divided into three categories: poetry, prose (including novels) and drama, or poetry, prose (excluding novels), drama and novel. Modern poetry also belongs to the category of poetry, and its artistry is not worse than that of classical poetry. Since well-written lyrics can be regarded as modern poems, they should of course be classified as literary works.

But poorly written lyrics should not be regarded as literary works. For example, the old cat's Sorry, Zhang Wei's Wooshing, He Xin's Love Trading and Xie Jun's That Night are such bad songs that they simply pollute other people's eyes, and the lyrics are vulgar, boring and meaningless. It is a great insult to describe their "literature" in this way!
