#54 (of 365) "Waitress" Hop Along

The Freed Pig is one of the angriest songs on this chart. But just above it might be the actual angriest. The song that won 2016 song of the year for me over the omnipresent "Drunk Drivers / Killer Whales" still holds up today (a few spots higher) and reserves the vitriol for the narrator, a waitress who realizes the woman who walks into her restaurant is the girlfriend/wife/lover of someone she (the waitress) had sex with. She's the one who cheated (well the guy is obviously the cheater) but this is from the POV of the third person in a relationship who maybe ruined it and just wants her to leave as she sits with that realization.

Realized I knew you from
His photo when you walked
Into the restaurant
And my heart just sunk
Your friend looked over from the bar
She must've known, who I was
The worst possible version of what I'd done
As, seating couples
I tried to listen
By the time it's old
A face will have been seen
One and a half
Million times
One million times
I don't know why I worry, I mean
Maybe she didn't recognize me

Call you enemy 'cause I'm afraid of
What you could call me
The world's gotten so small and embarrassing
By the time it's old my face will have been seen
And I'll share a very common poverty
It's a very common kind
Common kind, common kind
It's a very common kind
It's not that I am worried
I just wish you and your friends would leave
​
We've long since closed now
Still you and some others, stick around
You and some others stick around
You and some others stick around
We've long closed now, still
You and some others stick around
You and some others stick around
You and some others stick around
