Well, the Rubber Bandits' Horse Outside is certainly an ode to nihilism and disses the consumer society:

I'm at Amanda's wedding, In a church on Thomas Street
I'm lookin at a bridesmaid, and she lookin back at me
And when the service ends, I ask her if she wants a lift
Back to the hotel, and if it goes well, finger and a shift
She says Fitzy drives a Mitzy, and he offered me a spin
Enda have a Honda, so I might just go with him
And Darragh Gibney said he bring me in his Subaru
So what the fuck would make you think I'd wanna go with you

(Chorus)
I said Fuck your Honda Civic, I've a horse outside
Fuck your Subaru, I have a horse outside
And fuck your Mitsubishi, I've a horse outside
If you're lookin for a ride I've got a horse outside

She said I don't believe ya
I said it's fuckin true
I swapped him for a bag of yokes in 1992
I don't need insurance, I don't need no parkin space
And if you try to clamp my horse he'll kick you in the face
I don't pay no tax, fuck NCT
You'll arrive in style if you ride with me
And the boys are walkin over, jinglin their keys
I look the fuckers up and down and give them one of these

(Chorus)

Giddy up now baby, bless my soul
I rode the fucker round a field back since he was a foal
He runs a bit like Shergar, and he jumps like Tír na nÓg
He looks like Billie Piper after half an ounce of coke
And the boys are lookin jealous, as I lead yer one away
And just before I close the door I look at her and say
Would you be my girl, and she says I will of course
If ya grab me by the ponytail and ride me like a horse
Ya!
