The 10 Most Scathing Morrissey Lyrics

Morrissey recently released "World Peace Is None of Your Business," the lead single from his forthcoming album of the same name. It's a stark reminder of how scathing, clever, and humorous Moz's lyrics have been over the years. The title track exemplifies the man's penchant for cynicism, sarcasm, and challenging the establishment, which has earned him a place in rock history, along with his smooth, sultry baritone and signature quiff. With the release of Moz's 10th solo album on the horizon (it comes out July 15), we take a look back at some of the controversial English crooner's most scathing and sarcastic lyrics over the course of his 25-year career as a solo artist, as well as his time as chief lyricist and frontman of the influential '80s band the Smiths. — Laura Ferreiro
