“I hope you die peacefully in your sleep.
Just kidding, I hope it hurts like you hurt me.”
The Chicks, formerly known as the Dixie Chicks, have never shied away from making bold statements.

Like the best break-up albums or put-down songs,Gaslighteris bursting with absolute zingers and scorching burns.
It’s blazing with a righteous fury that explodes in lyrical mic drops.
Here are the 13 best burns offGaslighter.
“Sleep at Night”
2.
“My husbands girlfriends husband just called me up, how messed up is that?
Its so insane that I have to laugh.”
This is soap opera-level horrific.
Theres nothing funny about that."
“How do you sleep at night?
How do you tell those lies?
“Everybody Loves You”
5.
“Why does everybody love you?
They dont know enough about you.
Why does everybody love you?
They dont know the things that I do.
Why does everybody love you?
They dont know enough about you.
Do they know that I regret you?
Do they know I shouldnt have to?”
Don’t we all have a person like this in our lives?
“My Best Friend’s Wedding”
6.
“I realized that I prefer my own company to yours any time.
In 20 years, in 20 years, in 20 years, Ill still be younger than you.”
Sometimes, it’s really the petty victories that make us feel better.
“I hope you die peacefully in your sleep.
Just kidding, I hope it hurts like you hurt me.”
“Hey, will your dad pay your taxes now that Im done?”
I believe the only response to this is ohhhhh, damnnnnnn.
“you might tell the girl who left her tights on my boat that she can have you now.
Youre going to get what you got coming to you.”
We always hope that they get what they’ve got coming to them.
“Hope It’s Something Good”
10.
“When did you know?
Whyd you pretend to try?
If you call her, I hope its really worth it.
Twenty years of hanging on, now it all adds up to nothing.”
There’s nothing more infuriating than feeling like you’ve been wasting your time.
“Id have called you out, but I knew youd deny it.
After so long, I learned to hold my tongue.
Now that youre gone, Ill get to write this song.”
Or I don’t know, like 12 songs?
“Set Me Free”
12.
“Decency would be for you to sign and release me.”
Just let her go, sir.
“To have and to hold, all the weight of this hate was exhausting.”
It might’ve been exhausting, but it sure produced a great album.
