There's a free program called VersePerfect that I've found to be pretty useful.

Another method for writing is pretty much opposite of the one Noel proposed: come up with some provocative line and then work backwards to justify it. Typically, that might be the chorus.

It's also helpful to make a list of words the represent ideas that you want in your song. Then make a list of rhyming words (I like RhymeZone) to see if you can form any interesting couplets.
