We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death
No Children - The Mountain Goats
But not in a "fuck you world, I'll do what I want" kinda way. More of a "I wanna watch it burn" kinda way.
"Hand in unlovable hand" really hits sometimes!
Static X - Get to the Gone
Cradle of Filth - Gilded C**t
Ektomorf - Show Your Fist
Wednesday 13 - Mr Motherf****r
Dope - Die MF Die
Sorry, I couldn't decide.
I'm Still Standing - Elton John
Different flavor but it still fits
Dimmu Borgir - Puritania
God Hates Us All by Slayer. Might be the most literal answer
I wanna riot - Rancid
Blow up the Outside World by Soundgarden
The Way I Am - Eminem
MSI - Stupid MF
I'm going to take this in an incredible dark direction and say That's Just the Way That I Feel by Purple Mountains. This record is essentially a suicide note for artist David Berman, who killed himself shortly after it released.
It's more sad rather than angry at the world, but the poetic lyrics just tear me apart:
Course I've been humbled by the void
Much of my faith has been destroyed
I've been forced to watch my foes enjoy
Ceaseless feasts of schadenfreude
And as the pace of life keeps quickening
Beneath the *removed* and the bickering
When I try to drown my thoughts in gin
I find my worst ideas know how to swim

I can't talk to my mother, so I talk to my diary
NIΠ - Gave up
...but inch nails is probably cheating anyway.
Love me some IΠ
I'm going to add a choice here:
In honor of the late, great Steve Albini, Kerosene, by his band Big Black. It's been covered by a few bands, but no one has managed the harsh, nihilistic electro-punk feel of the original.

Pantara - 5 minutes alone
Revol by Manic Street Preachers.
