Angry Songs

"Having A Blast," Green Day, Dookie:

I'm taking all you down with me
Explosives duct taped to my spine
Nothings gonna change my mind

I won't listen to anyone's last words
There's nothing left for you to say
Soon you'll be dead anyway

No one here is getting out alive
This time I've really lost my mind and I don't care
So close your eyes
And kiss yourself goodbye
And think about the times you
spent and what they've meant
To me its nothing...

I'm losing all my happiness
The happiness YOU pinned on me
Loneliness still comforts me

My anger DWELLS inside of me
I'm taking it all out on you
And all the shit you put me through

No one here is getting out alive
This time I've really lost my mind and I don't care
So close your eyes
And kiss yourself goodbye
And think about the times you
spent and what they've ment
To me its nothing...

Do you ever thing back to another time?
Does it bring you so down that you
thought you lost you're mind?
Do you ever want to lead a long trail of destruction
and mow down any BULLSHIT that comfronts you?
Do you ever build up all the
small things in your head?
To make one problem that adds up to NOTHING
To me its nothing...

I keep wanting to walk around the office singing the chorus, but the last time I did it, I got labeled as some kind of emo guy. Go figure.

 

There's nothing wrong with belting a little Green Day around the office. I do that with "All By Myself." You don't know "looks" until you've tried it with that song. ...

"I was alone, I was all by myself
No one was looking, I was thinking of you
Oh yeah, did I mention I was all by myself
All by myself...
All by myself...
All by myself...

I went to your house, but no one was there
I went in your room
I was all by myself
You and me had
Such wonderful times
When I'm all by myself,
All by myself"

 

"Hit Em Up" - Tupac

 

"I Hate Your Guts" - Power and Glory.
This was the solo project Zakk Wylde did a few years before he formed Black Label Society. It was kind of a slow song with the chorus "I hate your guts/I wish that you was dead." My favorite lyric on that was "Your first name should be ass/Your second name should be wipe"

Back at the turn of this century, Alice Cooper came out with "Brutal Planet," a CD full of angry songs. Sanctuary, It's the Little Things and Blow Me a Kiss are among my favorites.

 

"Don't Fuck Me Up With Peace and Love (cuz I haven't got it in me) - Cracker

 

The Clash.
Just pick one.

 

Used to Love Her is hardly angry. It's a spoof -- and it's about a cat.
