I'm writing a musical right now and I'm looking for inspiration. The song I have in mind for the Act One finale centers around the main character calling someone out for all the crap that they've done. I've tried looking up songs that have a similar theme, but no one's made a specific collection yet. So I figured I'd ask on here. Does anyone have any good songs for calling someone out?

I think the reprise of "Someone Gets Hurt" does that too, and even better.
