《Wife Beater》是美國金屬核樂隊The Plot In You於2011年發行的單曲，由主創Landon Tewers創作並演唱，收錄於同名專輯《Wife Beater (Explicit)》。作品以家庭暴力為核心議題，通過父子兩代人的敘事視角展開對暴力循環的探討。
歌曲採用第一人稱敘事，構建肢體虐待導致的家庭崩壞場景，歌詞中"Fists were red with the blood of his children"等意象具象化暴力創傷。文本通過施暴者與被虐者的心理獨白，展現受虐者覺醒反抗與暴力代際傳遞的戲劇衝突，副歌"You're just a nightmare"強化對施暴者的心理剖析。樂隊運用對話式歌詞結構和壓抑的金屬核風格，延續其暗黑搖滾的音樂敘事特徵。

Wife Beater - The Plot In You
this house was trashed,
fists were red with the blood of his children
her water breaks,
damned a new life into theirs
these months have blown away,
your impulse shakes these walls to shame
their hands reach out to you and leave the same
she's lost respect for you,
you died the day your son was born
there's nothing left for you,
there's nothing left for you to do
you're just a nightmare,
you're just a ghost,
you'll wish you never had this life before
Now your sons have turned away,
the oldest takes your place
one day he'll have the strength to take you on
Father "I don't know what you expect from me anymore,I have made mistakes but that's not me anymore"
His fists get tighter,
your days grow shorter
Son "You raise your hand again,you just might lose it.I am not playing around father.You better pray before you touch her,I will tear you apart."
the nights it's darkest,
the children hidden in their rooms
this is your chance,
to make her scream again
he smells the plot in you,
he knows you've waited to long
the time has come for you to get what you want
