Make them up spontaneously live in front of an audience playing conga drums at an old folks home. you'll catch on to why the principles of song writing are important to master real fast.

If you have the music, start with nonsense words that fit the syllables "cauliflower", "scrambled eggs", etc.

Then you find some single line that works as a hook.

You build a theme around that line

Then you add ambiguities, double entendres until there is something interesting about almost every line

Here's a really good pop lyric, that is still keeping things simple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c50DPr1KM88

Like if you take Mother by Lennon, the whole concept is basically in the wordplay / contrast

You had me / I never had you
I needed you / you didnt need me

So it just bawing about his mum, but what makes it a good song is that super small measure of cleverness and wordsmithery that you have to add. It doesnt take much

literally read any book written by a single person in sessions of reasonable length without stopping to look at your phone.
(if you need an absolute suggestion, I read Fahrenheit 451 for the first time since high school recently and thought it was great. It's relatively brief and very vivid)
also like >>127144631 said: write lyrics. They will suck. Determine what sucks. Write more. They will suck slightly less. Keep doing that. >>127144666 is somewhat right about "have an interesting life" but don't rely on spontaneous inspiration, sit down and make yourself do it.
