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.
"Hand in unlovable hand" really hits sometimes!
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 Still Standing - Elton John
Different flavor but it still fits
Dimmu Borgir - Puritania
God Hates Us All by Slayer. Might be the most literal answer
I wanna riot - Rancid
Blow up the Outside World by Soundgarden
I'm adding two that spring to mind
- Fuck the fucking fuckers - Amduscia
- Blow - Theory of a deadman
- The typical "Fuck you" song - Noisuf-x
Edit: add one more song
The Way I Am - Eminem
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
This is a great one: https://youtu.be/hLHi3wiSuWc?si=jIksepNQ6Wh-OZHe
Add It Up by the Violent Femmes
MSI - Stupid MF
NIΠ - Gave up
...but inch nails is probably cheating anyway.
Love me some IΠ
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.
For a minute, I thought this was Geto Boys - Still
Die motherfuckers, die motherfuckers, still
I got a killer up inside of me
I can't talk to my mother, so I talk to my diary
Ihsahn - mass darkness
The crown - death explosion
High on fire - fury whip
Skeletonwitch - and into the flame
Goatwhore - FBS
Death - painkiller (all the respect to priest, but this version is better)
Exodus - war is my shepherd
Machine head - aesthetics of hate
Destroyer 666 - I am the wargod
The ocean - jurrasic/cretaceous
Black tongue - eclipse
Kglw - supercell/dragon/self-immolate
Hatebreed - destroy everything
OP's pick is a great one! I add F.O.D. by Green Day
Up the Wolves by The Mountain Goats
Pantara - 5 minutes alone
Every black metal song (except nsbm, fuck you nazis)
Revol by Manic Street Preachers.
How has no one in this thread suggested Insane Clown Posse's "Fuck the World"?
Bob Dylan - βPositively 4th Streetβ
people = shit ~ slipknot
or brat ~ green day
or having a blast ~ green day
Nine Inch Nails - Ruiner
Golgotha Compendium: Fifth Temple - Eidola
Worldburners Unite by Seeming
Blood for Blood - wasted youth crew
White Knuckles by Five Finger Death Punch
