"I'm Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Band" (this title could be wrong) -- The Moody Blues

"Starf**ker" -- The Rolling Stones (not sure about the lyrics to this, but the title seems to say it all)

"Pop Life" -- Prince

"Take 54" -- Harry Nillson (I'm not sure if "I sang by balls off for you baby" qualifies as a "meditation", but still)

Nearly every rap song ever written! Most of the Tenacious D catalogue, too.
