I bet none of you guys ever heard this gruesome song, nobody's old enough! If there's a morbid prize this should win.
Endless Sleep, Jody Reynolds
The night was black, rain fallin' down Looked for my baby, she's nowhere around Traced her footsteps down to the shore 'Fraid she's gone forever more I looked at the sea and it seemed to say "I took your baby from you away" I heard a voice cryin' in the deep "Come join me, baby, in my endless sleep" Why did we quarrel, why did we fight? Why did I leave her alone tonight? That's why her footsteps ran into the sea That's why my baby has gone from me I looked at the sea and it seemed to say "I took your baby from you away" I heard a voice cryin' in the deep "Come join me, baby, in my endless sleep" Ran in the water, heart full of fear There in the breakers I saw her near Reached for my darlin', held her to me Stole her away from the angry sea I looked at the sea and it seemed to say "You took your baby from me away" My heart cried out "she's mine to keep" I saved my baby from an endless sleep Endless sleep, endless sleep Endless sleep, endless sleep

Oh I've just come From the land of the sun From a war that must be won In the name of truth With our soldiers so brave your freedom we will save With our rifles and grenades And some help from God
I want to see my family My wife and child waiting for me I've got to go home I've been so alone, you see
You just can't believe The joy I did recieve When I finally got my leave And I was going home
Oh I flew through the sky my convictions could not lie For my country I would die And I will see it soon
I want to see my family My wife and child waiting for me I've got to go home I've been so alone, you see
When I walked through the door My wife she lay upon the floor And with tears her eyes were sore I did not know why Then I looked into her hand And I saw the telegram That said that I was a brave, brave man But that I was dead
I want to see my family My wife and child waiting for me I've got to go home I've been so alone, you see

Here's another one - Holiday in Cambodia by the Dead Kennedys.

In retrospect I feel like “The Day I Tried To Live” by Soundgarden sounds like a suicide note.
For those of you that don’t the lead singer eventually killed himself.
quote:
I woke the same As any other day except a voice was in my head It said, "Seize the day Pull the trigger, drop the blade and watch the rolling heads" The day I tried to live I stole a thousand beggar's change And gave it to the rich, yeah The day I tried to win I dangled from the power lines And let the martyrs stretch, yeah Singing one more time around (might do it) One more time around (might make it) One more time around (might do it) One more time around (might make it) The day I tried to live, yeah Words you say Never seem to live up to the ones inside your head The lives we make Never seem to ever get us anywhere but dead The day I tried to live I wallowed in the blood and mud With all the other pigs, hey Singing one more time around (might do it) One more time around (might make it) One more time around (might do it) One more time around (might make it) The day I tried to live, yeah I tried I woke the same as any other day you know I should have stayed in bed The day I tried to win I wallowed in the blood and mud With all the other pigs And I learned that I was a liar I learned that I was a liar I learned that I was a liar I learned that I was a liar Singing one more time around (might do it) One more time around (might make it) One more time around (might do it) One more time around (might make it) The day I tried to live Just like you Just like you One more time around One more time around

Depending on how you interpret it, "Puff the Magic Dragon" might qualify as morbid.
