MTV is afraid of My Chemical Romance

I was watching the internet version of the new MCR video “Teenagers” release, and then i watched the one on television.  In both, they blocked out many words that are not in any case an expletive. Here’s the lyrics and I’ll put double parenthesis around the blanked out words:

They’re gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a ((gun))
And keep an eye on you, son
So they can watch all the things you do

Because the drugs never work
They’re gonna give you a smirk
‘Cause they got methods of keeping you clean
They’re gonna rip up your heads,
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the ((murder)) machine

They said all teenagers scare the living ((shit)) out of me
They could care less as long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

The boys and girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You’re never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you’re troubled and hurt
What you got under ((your shirt))
Will make them ((pay)) for the things that they did

They said all teenagers scare the living ((shit)) out of me
They could care less as long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

Ohhh yeah!

They said all teenagers scare the living ((shit)) out of me
They could care less as long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

All together now!

Teenagers scare the living ((shit)) out of me
They could care less as long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

Now, you can forgive them for blocking out the word “shit,” but the rest is unforgivable. I’m pretty sure you can say gun, pay, and your shirt in any other circumstance.

“Honey, did you remember to *** the bills last month?”

“I got a pellet *** for Christmas.”

“That’s a really cool design on **** ****, how much did you *** for it?”

The release date for this single was pushed back due to the Virginia Tech massacre, which I can understand, but censoring words that are not standard expletives is ((bullshit)).
