Can You Like An Angry Song?

Phil Collins’ “I DON’T CARE ANYMORE!” is a song I like, I bought Collins first solo album back in the day and I liked the beat to it. As I’ve aged up I realize how dark and angry the song is– AND sometimes I agree with it’s sentiments. You try your hardest at something, you fail, and you try again, and on the second crash and burn you just get up and say “No mas.” Here’s the song;

Well you can tell everyone I’m a down disgrace
Drag my name all over the place
I don’t care anymore

You can tell everybody ’bout the state I’m in
You won’t catch me crying ’cause I just can’t win
I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore, d’you hear?

I don’t care what you say
I don’t play the same games you play

‘Cause I’ve been talking to the people
that you call your friends
And it seems to me there’s a means to an end
They don’t care anymore

And as for me I can sit here and bide my time
I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind
I don’t care anymore
I don’t care no more

I don’t care what you say
We never played by the same rules anyway

I won’t be there anymore
Get out of my way
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore

Well, I don’t care now what you say
‘Cause every day I’m feeling fine with myself
And I don’t care now what you say
Hey, I’ll do alright by myself
‘Cause I don’t

‘Cause I remember all the times I tried so hard
And you laughed in my face ’cause you held the cards
I don’t care anymore

And I really ain’t bothered what you think of me
‘Cause all I want of you is just to let me be
I don’t care anymore
Do you hear, I don’t care no more

I don’t care what you say
I never did believe you much anyway

I won’t be there no more
So get out of my way
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don’t care anymore
Do you hear, I don’t care anymore
I don’t care no more
You listening? I don’t care no more
No more

Oh yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah

You know I don’t care no more
Don’t care no more
No more, no more, no more
Don’t care no more
No more, no more

No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more
