RE: Tough Songs To Listen To

I agree with "John Wayne Gacy, Jr" and "Black" and I think the ones I'd add are:

"New Slang"--"Turn me back into the pet I was when we met. I was happier then with no mindset." That line devastates me. Probably the saddest all around song for me.
"Fake Plastic Trees"--"It wears her out," "It wears him out," "It wears me out."
"Palmcorder Yajna"--"If anybody comes into our room while we're asleep I hope they incinerate everybody in it." Yikes.
"The War Criminal Rises and Speaks"--"They found a lieutenant who killed a village of kids. After finishing off the wives he wiped off his knife and that's what he did." "How did I climb out of a life so boring into that moment?" Morally devastating.
"Glenn Tipton"--"I buried my first victim when I was nineteen...." Double yikes.

There are also some songs that give me a desolate feeling but I couldn't really pinpoint why: "Red Right Ankle," "He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot," "Lullaby" by James, " "Country Feedback" by REM and "Radio Cure" by Wilco.
