I'm looking for songs that are kind of "callout"-ish, where the target is someone who's hurt/bullied/abused/pissed off the speaker, but not (at least not explicitly) a boyfriend/girlfriend - so the millions of "you/he/she cheated on me" songs don't count. Simple Plan's "Shut Up" is along the lines I'm thinking of. I don't know a lot of songs/artists, so can anyone suggest any more?

Most of Emilie Autumns catalogue but in particular "I know where you sleep" is beautiful

Taylor Swift - Bad Blood

Lincoln Park - Numb

Are You Happy Now - Michelle Branch
One - U2

Hmm... I could have sworn Ms. Branch stated that song was about an ex-boyfriend.

isn't One about a guy with AIDS?

Would it count if the speaker is calling out the target for cheating on the target's boyfriend? If so, then "She's a fool" by Leslie Gore. She also has one where she's snapping at the target for thinking her persona in the song doesn't know her boyfriend is cheating on her when in fact she does. "Maybe I know" for the song's title

If you want generally angry at the world/fuck it songs, you've got "No More Mister Nice Guy" by Alice Cooper and pretty much anything by Rage Against the Machine. If you want something targeted at a specific person that doesn't mention relationship issues specifically, how angry are you? Are you "Platypus" by Green Day pissed, or just "Big Shot" by Billy Joel? If you want more sad hurt than angry hurt, then hello country music. You've got "Only a Dream" by Mary Chapin Carpenter and about a third of Martina McBride's catalog to start you off. And in the less depressing call-out category, you've got "Harper Valley PTA."

OMG, someone other than me that remembers "Harper Valley PTA"! That is such an awesome song!

THAT MAKES THREE OF US.

God that was a glorious song.

Assholes by Drive-By Truckers.

A mild, "you are not so much infuriating as just a pain in the ass" one: King Of Anything, Sara Bareilles.

Fuck U by Placebo

Bob Dylan's Positively 4th Street is a particularly wry callout.

Death on Two Legs by Queen

"Cleaning out my Closet" - Eminem

What's the context? Musical theater is lousy with these. Pick a show with a plot that's relevant, and look at the songs in the middle of Act II.
