I do note that the alternative radio station I enjoy listening to, does broadcast the original, not the sanitized, lyrics,

OK, getting a bit more serious, there's this tune ...
Jefferson Airplane - We Can Be Together (1969) www.youtube.com
Lyrics excerpt ...
... [Intro] We can be together Ah, you and me We should be together [Verse 1] We are all outlaws in the eyes of America In order to survive, we steal, cheat, lie, forge, fuck, hide, and deal We are obscene, lawless, hideous, dangerous, dirty, violent And young [Chorus 1] We should be together Come on all you people standin' around Our life's too fine to let it die We should be together [Bridge] All your private property is Target for your enemy And your enemy is we [Verse 2] We are forces of chaos and anarchy Everything they say we are, we are And we are very proud of ourselves [Refrain] Up against the wall Up against the wall, motherfuckers! Tear down the wall Tear down the wall [Pre-Chorus] Come on now together Get it on together ...
[Verse 1] We are all outlaws in the eyes of America In order to survive, we steal, cheat, lie, forge, fuck, hide, and deal We are obscene, lawless, hideous, dangerous, dirty, violent And young
[Chorus 1] We should be together Come on all you people standin' around Our life's too fine to let it die We should be together
[Bridge] All your private property is Target for your enemy And your enemy is we
[Verse 2] We are forces of chaos and anarchy Everything they say we are, we are And we are very proud of ourselves
[Refrain] Up against the wall Up against the wall, motherfuckers! Tear down the wall Tear down the wall
[Pre-Chorus] Come on now together Get it on together ...
Yeah, this tune had a couple of issues to being broadcast on the radio back in the day.
But the late 1960's were a turbulent time for our Country.

OK, here's one that will never make it to pop radio.
I first heard it on the local college station.
I never heard it on a commercial station.
Gee, I wonder why?
Note: NSFW.
I repeat, NSFW.
Ugly Americans - Boom Boom Baby (1996) www.youtube.com
Not a surprise, no lyrics seem to be available.
You have to subject yourself to the song.
But I do say, NSFW.
