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.

"You Know Me," cut from The Visit.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.
