The most famous one is from "bittersweet symphony," written by the stones and famously covered by the Verve. Near the end when you can't really understand the words, he says "it's just sex and violence, melody and silence" (according to google.)
Two or three came to mind to me: the Cranberries song "zombie." You might not find that one with google because they print it as "vi'lence." Because she's Irish. There's also a famous 80's song which goes, "words of violence break the silence; words are meaningless" and I can't remember the rest, but it's catchy. Google attributes this to Tori Amos. There's one sort of alternative/rock/metal song that I remembered, but I can't think what it is. Hrm.
Anyways, according to google, there are many lower profile artists who have made use of this wonderful rhyming opportunity, mainly rappers.
