I'm All For Artistic License

I was playing Guitar Hero World Tour the other day. (Go figure!) I was doing the vocal tour. I found myself singing this song Assassin by Muse.
(These are the lyrics.....but they leave out a creepy section where you are singing.....Kill your leaders!) (I found a YouTube video of the actual GHWT song bar.)
War is overdue
The time has come for you
To shoot your leaders down
Join forces underground

[Chorus:]
Lose control
Increasing pace
Warped and bewitched
Time to erase

Whatever they say
These people are torn
Wild and bereft
Assassin is born

Oppose and disagree
Destroy demonocracy

[Chorus]

Whatever they say
These people are torn
Wild and bereft
Assassin is born

Do you want your child singing these lyrics?
The song in itself is fine with me. I have a choice whether I wish to buy it or not.
But in a game that I have no choice, either play the song to move on or don't play the game. In a game that I know young kids play.
It just gave me the creeps!

Now I do so love the F-bomb in songs. Give me some sexually explicit lyrics any day. Such as Crazy Bitch & Tear You Apart.
I think Prince's Darling Nikki was my first of such loves.
Different strokes as they say!
