What's the best "fuck you world" song of all time?
My pick: Break Stuff by limp bizkit
My pick: Break Stuff by limp bizkit
We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death
No Children - The Mountain Goats
But not in a "fuck you world, I'll do what I want" kinda way. More of a "I wanna watch it burn" kinda way.
Static X - Get to the Gone
Cradle of Filth - Gilded C**t
Ektomorf - Show Your Fist
Wednesday 13 - Mr Motherf****r
Dope - Die MF Die
Sorry, I couldn't decide.
I'm adding two that spring to mind
Edit: add one more song
I'm going to take this in an incredible dark direction and say That's Just the Way That I Feel by Purple Mountains. This record is essentially a suicide note for artist David Berman, who killed himself shortly after it released.
It's more sad rather than angry at the world, but the poetic lyrics just tear me apart:
Course I've been humbled by the void
Much of my faith has been destroyed
I've been forced to watch my foes enjoy
Ceaseless feasts of schadenfreude
And as the pace of life keeps quickening
Beneath the *removed* and the bickering
When I try to drown my thoughts in gin
I find my worst ideas know how to swim
I've been forced to watch my foes enjoy
Ceaseless feasts of schadenfreude
And this is why you don’t indulge in sadism. The other side of the game sucks really bad.
This is a great one: https://youtu.be/hLHi3wiSuWc?si=jIksepNQ6Wh-OZHe
Add It Up by the Violent Femmes
I'm going to add a choice here:
In honor of the late, great Steve Albini, Kerosene, by his band Big Black. It's been covered by a few bands, but no one has managed the harsh, nihilistic electro-punk feel of the original.
