* "St. Jimmy" from GreenDay's {{American Idiot}} is prety much one big Badass Boast:
-->St. Jimmy's coming down across the alleyway
-->Upon the boulevard like a zip gun on parade
-->Light of his silhouette, he's insubordinate
-->Comin' at you on the count of 1, 2—(1, 2, 3, 4!)
-->My name is Jimmy and you better not wear it out
-->Suicide commando that your momma talked about
-->King of the forty thieves and I'm here to represent
-->The needle in the vein of the establishment
-->I'm the patron saint of the denial
-->With an angel face and a taste for suicidal
-->Cigarettes and ramen and a little bag of dope
-->I am the son of a bitch and Edgar Allen Poe
-->Raised in the city in the halo of lights
-->Product of war and fear that we've been victimized...
-->Are you talking to me? I'll give you something to cry about! ST JIMMY!
-->My name is St. Jimmy, I'm the son of a gun
-->I'm the one that's from the way outside, now
-->I'm a teenage assassin executing some fun
-->In the cult of the life of crime, now
-->I really hate to say it, but I told you so
-->o shut your mouth before I shoot you down, old boy
-->Welcome to the club, and give me some blood
-->I'm the resident leader at the lost and found
-->It's comedy and tragedy
-->It's St. Jimmy, and that's my name...and don't you fucking wear it out!!!!

* {{Sabaton}} has several on behalf of many military units, like [[TankGoodness Panzer Battalion]:
-->Under this sun no shadows will fall
-->Piercing our eyes as we charge
-->An armoured battalion on course to the east
-->Closing the end of it's march
-->This time we're here to finish a job
-->Started a decade ago
-->Driving the animals out of their holes
-->To bury them 6 feet below
-->Armoured tanks of mass destruction
-->Killers in the east
-->Rats who dares to stand before us
-->Feel our guns go live
-->Death in the shape of a panzer battalion
-->Insect of terror don't run face your fate like a
-->Man cannot outrun our panzer battalion
-->Thousands of tons of armour and guns
-->Making it's way through the sand
-->Our panzer battalion is back for revenge
-->Artillery sweeping the land
-->First strike is ours no mercy is shown
-->There's rivers of blood in our track
-->Breaking their lines of defence with our tanks
-->Infantry watching our back
-->Blow their SAM sites clear for air strike
-->Ready for the storm
-->Minefields swept there's no surrender
-->Feel our napalm burn
** Their ambgiously-non-war songs tends to go into that direction as well, for example Birds of War:
-->The priesthood is trembling
-->the five knights of light has betrayed mankind
-->Now known as the dark ones
-->we strike down on earth with powers from hell
-->We ride on the wind we ride through the sky
-->like unholy birds of war we fly
-->we bring agony and insanity
-->Once blessed by the light now serving the night
-->and soon cursed by every man on earth
-->We follow our lust, in no god we trust
-->Come join us
-->Leave this world behind and you will find satisfaction
-->fight on our side you cannot hide from us forever more
-->Once greeted as heroes
-->now treated as foes wherever we go
-->Recruiting more warriors
-->the hordes of undead march on our command
-->Now mankind will pay from this very day
-->every man on earth will curse his birth
-->We spread fear and pain resistance in vain
-->We march in the dark your kind is our mark
-->avoid the daylight in dark we fight
-->We'll control your souls you'll end up like ghouls
-->Come join us!
