{{workcreator}}
A [[Rap Metal]] band that specialize on inverting [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: A lot of attitude and bad language to cover the fact that pretty much all of their lyrics are heavy on morality and philosophy - under the thin though surface, the whole thing is very wholesome and politically correct.

=== Clawfinger lyrics has examples of ===
* [[Agree to Disagree]]: The main aesop of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gv4cPCZXpc Two Sides (of every story)] is that atheists, Christians, Muslims et cetera should simply respect each other and let each other be, instead of trying to shove their ideas of salvation down each other's throats.

* [[Drunk With Power]]: The song "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHINIyNCZco Power]" preaches that political power leads to this and is caused by this. Also invoked in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mqp1v1HutQk The Truth]".
* [[Destructive Romance]]: Described in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVaH-JCNDDI I Need You]". Also the backstory in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7XCr9Fofvg (Love is just a) Four Letter Word]".
== [[Music]] ==
* [[Jesus Was Crazy]]: In the song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wF-xWShwEk I'm Your Life And Religion], well, Jesus (and any other similar [[The Messiah]] figure) is presented in a way designed to make God look like a narcissistic personality disorder egomaniac for casting himself in the role of a [[Black Hole Sue]].
* [[God Mode Sue/Black Hole Sue|Black Hole Sue]]: The song "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZOA7aR90eo I'm Your Life & Religion]" is, among other things, a satire over this trope.
* [[Hollywood Homely]]: The song "Hate yourself with style" is all about destructive ideals and negative self-image.
* [[Jerkass]]: The selfrighteousself-righteous protagonist of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqWgQ6P8apk Pay The Bill]. Also the fatherfigurefather figure (as well as the kids implied future self) in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1CE4P8qqPE Do What I Say].
* [[Miles Gloriosus]]: The song "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yG0QE9ce3U Biggest & The Best]" is the perfect sountdtracksoundtrack for this kind of character (as well as for [[Mary Sue]]).
* [[N-Word Privileges]]: Subverted; the song "Nigger" is actually ''against'' the use of this word and "nigga".
* [[Parental Incest]]: Debated in a very creepy yet very efficient way in the song "Little baby". The male character keeps droning on about how what he's doing is ok and that she mustn't tell anyone and noone would believe her anyway and of course he ''loves'' her... The female character simply repeats "this house is not a happy home" over and over, while sounding sad and anxious.
Line 27 ⟶ 26:
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: Several of the songs are from the point of view of a character designed to be unsympathetic and/or mentally unhealthy. For example [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3u4OYTDgclQ Pay The Bill] - ignore the video, just listen to the lyrics.
* [[War Is Hell]]: Described in the song "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=180y2n3NopU Warfair]".
* [[What an Idiot!]]: Self-critiziingcriticizing in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1K9P_aYKqQ The Price We Pay]. As usual, it's ambiguous what this "self" is.
