Google already does this so I assume it's in line with the law. If they get the lyrics wrong, maybe that's under fair use?

Google pays for the right to display lyrics, but if they display them incorrectly that might be an issue. Especially if the wrong version somehow goes against the morals of the artist.

Aha, I didn't know they were paying for it.
