Pretty much all of Marianne Faithfull’s album _Broken English_ could make honorable mention, but the tune “[Why D’Ya Do It?](http://www.lyricsfreak.com/m/marianne+faithfull/whyd+ya+do+it_20088583.html)” is one damn angry song. Warning: Lyrics that got it banned in Oz and by extension in NZ for some years. (Yes, I do mean “banned” as opposed to “not played on air”. The vinyl LP I bought in NZ was missing the track – as in there was several minutes of silence instead of music). 🙂 ---

Reaching way, way back for this one. **Friends of Mine** from The Guess Who’s “Wheatfield Soul” album, you get Burton Cummings channeling Jim Morrison, circa “The End”:. > [@](#): > > he gallows was made from a tree created by God > The man’s blood dripped into the ground which was created by God > Even the giant cloaked figure which was the man’s own end was created by God > Even the man’s soul which went down was created by God > Even the black birds which picked the man’s corpse apart were created by God > AND WHERE WAS GOD? There’s this angry hornet-buzzing guitar behind, and the last lyrics in that stanza are shouted with echo. Nailed me, back in the day. ---

Maybe more disappointment and resentment, but nonetheless very angry lyrics are [http://www.civilizednation.com/music/Sting/song\_433.php](http://www.civilizednation.com/music/Sting/song_433.php) Pawns in the game are not victims of chance Strewn on the fields of Belgium and France Poppies for young men, death’s bitter trade All of those young lives betrayed The children of England would never be slaves They’re trapped on the wire and dying in waves The flower of England face down in the mud And stained in the blood of a whole generation ---

I nominate “One More Minute” by one W.A. Yankovic: So I pulled your name out of my Rolodex And I tore all your pictures in two And I burned down the malt shop where we used to go Just because it reminds me of you That’s right you ain’t gonna see me cryin’ I’m glad that you found somebody new 'Cause I’d rather spend eternity eating shards of broken glass Than spend one more minute with you ---

First to mind was “Head Like a Hole” by Nine Inch Nails, and Trent has so many others as well. But I realized that one of the most explicitly angry songs I’m familiar with is [Flashback](http://www.lyricsfreak.com/m/ministry/flashback_20093952.html) by Ministry. > [@](#): > > Im gonna make her suffer > Im gonna make her cry > Im gonna watch her die > Cos I hate her! My problem with the song is that it is too easy to crank up and sing along with…despite the fact that I don’t feel the way he does. ---
