Well guys...I also am a war vet...three back to back tours in Viet Nam. So...I am seldom offended by mere words.I am also not a proponent of using words solely for shock value.This song was never intended to be a child's nursery rhyme nor was it intended to generate hate and discontent.
The older I get,the more I know, the less I understand about what other people think!!
Cheers, Billy
1) I think that's the perception to be concerned with.
I'm too old to really give a damn what other people might think.
But....I have no desire to write lyrics in a way that may draw out those opinions/responses and get sucked into PC drama because of their frail sensitivities or thin skin.
2) Ha....I hear you...sounded like you were talking directly to me!

Carry on....
