Blanketing opinions that I'll probably regret soon.

Minor Threat, I Don't Wanna Hear It.

God damn, the 80s hardcore band Minor Threat really knew how to express true anger in the simplest way. This is an anger you don't hear in modern bands. This is an anger that could only be produced by the stagflation of the 1970s and the election of Ronald Reagan. Press play, feel the angst, and read the lyrics. Repeat until you feel better.

Minor Threat, I Don't Wanna Hear It, 1981:



I don't want to hear it
All you do is talk about you
I don't want to hear it
'Cause I know that none of it's true
I don't want to hear it
Sick and tired of all your lies
I don't want to hear it
When are you gonna realize...

That I don't want to hear it
Know you're full of shit
I don't want to hear it
Know you're full of shit
I don't want to hear it
Know you're full of shit
I don't want to hear it

I don't want to hear it
All you do is talk about you
I don't want to hear it
'Cause I know that none of it's true
I don't want to hear it
Sick and tired of all your lies
I don't want to hear it
When are you gonna realize...

That I don't want to hear it
Know you're full of shit
I don't want to hear it
Know you're full of shit
I don't want to hear it
Know you're full of shit
I don't want to hear it

Shut your fucking mouth
I don't care what you say
You keep talking
Talking everyday
First you're telling stories
Then you're telling lies
When the fuck
Are you gonna realize ...

That I don't want to hear it
Know you're full of shit
I don't want to hear it
Know you're full of shit
I don't want to hear it
Know you're full of shit
I don't want to hear it

Ah, SHUT UP.
Comments:
Ah, good old Minor Threat! I still play them pretty often when I need to blow off steam at work. Particularly Think Again, which is probably my favorite song for workplace rage. See also Naked Raygun, Black Flag, Bad Brains, The Misfits and a slew of other old punk bands that still work their way into the regular rotation.
