Can't delete songs downloaded from Siri?

Here's the situation. Say you ask Siri to play a song you don't have on your device but own on your iTunes account. Siri will download said song and it will automatically play. You can't delete the song manually.

iPhone 5, iOS 7, Other songs can be deleted.

Let me explain the problem more clearly. I asked Siri to play a song titled "Someday" that is on my iPhone. Siri instead downloaded a song that I didn't like also titled, "Someday". Once I heard the wrong song playing I checked and see that Siri downloaded a old song with the same name. When I go to Music and swipe it to delete it, it doesn't show up. My other songs can be deleted except for the one Siri downloaded for me. To test this again I replicate it with other song I don't have on my iPhone yet and that song can't be deleted. Please help me fix this or at least report it as a bug.

I did the same thing. I would like to use Siri to play music ON my phone...not music elsewhere. Moreover, even if it *DOES* confuse the song I am asking about with a song not actually on the phone, there really ought to be a super easy way to remove that file besides deleting all the locally stored music on that phone via Settings -> Genereal -> Usage -> Music -> Edit -> 'Delete Button' to remove ALL the music on the iPhone including the songs I really, really DO want on my phone. 😠
