You can sing about death as long as you don't use the bad word

I am fascinated by the idea that some words are innately bad.

I just found a lyrics page that censored out the curs words. When that kind of censorship happens to a Manics song, you get something truly interesting.

"Always feeling torn and slow
Love song cull destroy poem
Misery and trauma making love
Best go shoot the xxxxxxx doves
The past is so beautiful
The future like a corpse in snow
I think it's all the xxxxxxx same
It's a life sentence babe"

Trust me, it is not the word fuck that is going to mess up your kids if they listen to this song. You did not help.
