Of course they would win every time but it’s not worth the thousands of dollars in legal fees for every single case.
Oh, also saying the lyrics isn't fair use either. Lyrics are copyrighted under US law and just saying them out loud on a product that makes money isn't allowed. Melody is copyrighted too, which is why you on YouTube and people on TV/movies can't hum popular tunes.
Lyrics can 100% be fair use, it depends on how you use it (which is what fair use is about). If you say the whole lyrics of the whole song for no reason then obviously that's not fair use. If you criticize parts of a song and say the lyrics that is fair use.
Just a note here. The many people liking your comment and none liking mine is part of the problem. People thinking length has any serious meaning for fair use is a massive problem as people keep doing things wrong and getting in trouble. Source: https://bit.ly/2FEp2ks
No, fair use doesn't cover length, that's a common misconception. Length of usage has no sway on court rulings or the current law.
