could be about a lost love, could be about anything...your pics for the best song about being bitter...one of mine is "How do you sleep" by john lennon, his scathing attack on Paul Mccartney from his imagine album...

so sgt. pepper took you by
surprise
you better see right through that
mother's eyes
those freaks was right when they
said you was you was dead
the one mistake you made was
in your head
how do you sleep?
ah how do you sleep at night?
you live with straights who tell
you you was king
jump when your mamma tell
you anything
the only thing you done was
yesterday
and since you've gone it's just
another day
how do you sleep?
ah how do you sleep at night?
a pretty face may last a year
or two
but pretty soon they'll see
what you can do
the sound you make is muzak
to my ears
you must have learned
something all those years
how do you sleep?
ah how do you sleep at night?

love the yesterday line...comparing it to one of pauls first solo singles..Another day..brilliant!
Ya gotta love the Southern Man vs Sweet Home Alabama battle royal.

"A southern man don't need you around anyhow..."

I still think Neil's song is the more powerful and poignant of the two.

agreed!!
Two Dylan songs:

Masters of War
I hope that you die
and your death'll come soon
I'll follow your casket
in the pale afternoon
and I'll watch while you're lowered
down to your deathbed
and I'll stand o'er your grave
'til I'm sure that you're dead

Idiot Wind
Idiot wind, blowin' every time you move your teeth
you're an idiot, babe
it's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.

BWAHAHAHAHA! :thumb:

:thumb: :thumb: :thumb: 'Southern Man' is a gem of a song. "Tall white mansions and little shacks..." .....indeed.
Peace Sells (who's buying) by Megadeth comes to mind


What do you mean, "I hurt your feelings"?
I didn't know you had any feelings.
What do you mean, "I ain't kind"?
I'm just not your kind.
What do you mean, "I couldn't be president, of the United States of America"?
Tell me something, it's still "We the people", right?
Pretty much anything by Rage. First one that comes to mind is Killing in the Name of. A bitter, angry song that makes me bitter and angry as well.

"F you I won't do what ya tell me"
Oh man, gotta be I F***ing Hate You by Godsmack, wow that song is nothing but pure hate, that or any Slayer/Slipknot song. :twisted: :twisted: Very scary stuff kids. :twisted: :twisted:
Oh, and that Nirvana cover tune with Kurt hurtin', grindin' and screamin' "MY GIRL: WHERE DID YA SLEEP LAST NIGHT!?"
Gotta say I love Limp Bizkit's "Give Me Something To Break"

"Its just one of those days when you don't wanna wake up, everthing is fuked, everbody sucks, you don't really know why but you wanna justify rippin someones head off"..............................

Now who here hasn't ever had one of those days............... :lol:

*Shudder* :lol:
The Offspring Bad Habit
"You drive on my ass
You're foot's on the gas
And your next breath is your last
Drivers are rude
Such attitudes
But when I show my piece
Complaints cease
Something's odd
I feel like I'm God
You stupid dumbshit goddam motherfucker
I open the glove box
Reach inside
I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride"


Or maybe Kiss me, I'm shitfaced by the Dropkick Murphys...lots of good lines in that one like "I've had better sex in Jail"....nice
