    This song was my first real exposure to “radio censorship”, was eye opening for me. The song is a metaphor for generational child abuse and a cry for help, fighting against the urge to descend into the same pattern themselves and breaking. and then the radio cut turned it into a damned anthem of violence removing the context.

      There’s a handful of songs where I listen to the radio edit, and just wonder why they bothered.

        Owfk The World, being the radio edit of ICP’s Fuck The World was unintentionally hilarious.

        “In this song i say ‘owfk’ 93 times!” and “owfk Lyle Lovett, whoever the owfk that is!”
