Self-contradictory songs...
There are some songs where the music doesn't seem to fit the lyrics. For example, the song Train in Vain, by The Clash is a rather sad song about a guy dealing with a breakup but the music for the song has a happy-go-lucky feel to it that just doesn't feel right when compared to the subject matter.
Another example would be Guerilla Solder, by Gowan. It's a song about the horrors of war but the music is, again, this happy-go-lucky tune that one might sing to cheer themselves up or pass the time away.
Can you think of other songs where the lyrics don't match the music?
