The line in "You Got Me Rockin'" about Mick being a butcher cutting the meat. Some of the later lyrics don't fit their station in life or age. I recall Mick singing that on the Voodoo Lounge tour while wearing a long satin frock coat, while making a chopping motion.

I'm having a hard time figuring out the worst Stones' lyrics.
Those that I can't stand are the ones that don't fit into the Stones, at least for me. Sweet Neo Con, for instance. I don't care about poetry nor politics: it just sounds like a Jagger solo track, which might be very cool, but I don't like that stuff on a Rolling Stones' album.
Most of A Bigger Bang seems like a Mick solo record, anyway.

This is genius, the lyrics fit the music so perfectly .........
It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me
I sit and watch
As tears go by
My riches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground
I sit and watch
As tears go by
It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Doing things I used to do
They think are new
I sit and watch
As tears go by

New tour coming up, new album coming out ... PLEASE no more garbage lyrics like this !!
ROUGH JUSTICE gets my vote. I mean really, does it get any worse ?
One time you were my baby chicken
Now you've grown into a fox
Once upon a time I was your little rooster
But am I just one of your cocks
It's rough justice on ya
You're going to have to trust me
It's rough justice
But you know I'll never break your heart
So put your lips to my hips, baby
And tell me what's on your mind
I know you've still got the animal attraction for me
It's been a long, long time
It's rough justice on ya
We never thought it risky
It's rough justice
But you know I'll never break your heart
You're feeling loose and lusty
So if you really want me
Yeah, it's rough justice
And you know I'll never break your heart, yeah
It's rough justice on ya
You think you really sussed me
It's rough justice
But you…
What the f**k ?
What WERE they thinking ?

As I said before, and it was enlarged upon in the Ron Rosenberg article I posted, lyrics are a component of a song and should not be judged as if they were a poem, although of course there are lyrics can stand alone as poetry.
I think this is a balanced thread, very insightful and informative, and should not be closed because of negative comments. It would help if the OP changed the topic. I would suggest "Most and least successful Stones lyrics".

The only honest response I could give...
"The Worst"
Well I said from the first
I am the worst kind of guy
For you to be around
Tear me apart
Including this old heart
That is true
And never ever let you down
You shouldn't stick with me
You trust me too much, you see
Take all the pain
It's yours anyway
Yeah kid...
Oh, put the blame on me
You ought to pass, you see
Somewhere outside
I threw love aside
Now it's a tragedy
I said from the first
I am the worst kind of guy
For you to be around
