Know any songs about cruelty, hate, mistreatment, etc?

Question

I'm doing an English project where I have to make a CD to describe a book. The book I chose to do the project on is a book about slavery in the United States in the 18th century. I'm looking for modern music with lyrics that have to do with cruelty, hate, and horrible mistreatment. All the music I listen to is way too happy.

Please recommend me songs about mistreatment. A large part of the book had to do with rape and beatings, to be more specific. My only preference is that I'd prefer the songs not to be rap or heavy metal.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

TRY 'creep' and 'Karma Police' By radiohead

but I don`t think it matches your 18th century theme of your english project.
Try the "Gangs Of New York" movie soundtrack, they might have somthing that might gonna attract you most.
Hope I have helped.
Please choose as best answer.
