Most. Depressing. Pop or rock song. Ever.

For a long time, I would've said it was Kansas's "Dust in the Wind," which goes on and on in excrutiating detail about just how brief and pointless life is. Then I heard that golden oldie, Carly Simon's "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be," an anthem to anomie and alienation that's so dreary and pessimistic I wanted to slit my wrists on the spot.
