It sounds chill at first, but listen to words and tones, John Lennon's pissed off.
Not too inaccessible, and filled with righteous anger. I assume you've heard this song before, but if you haven't wait about a minute into the song.
And personally, I think if you wanted angst, you chose the wrong Bowie song (no offense). This has a chorus that you want scream over Bowie's vocals, and his vocals steadily grow emotionally and intensely, climaxing when the boy is shot down.
