Rolling Stone magazine published an overview last year called “PMRC’s ‘Filthy 15’: Where Are They Now?”, where they give some of the lyrics. For the most part, they are no more offensive than the song titles. Here are some samples as taken from the Rolling Stone article, chosen almost at random: “Don’t you struggle / Don’t you fight / Let me put my love into you / Let me cut your cake with my knife” (from “Let Me Put My Love Into You”); “When it comes down to makin’ love / I’ll satisfy your every need / And every fantasy you think up” (from “In My House”); “Saturday, I feel right / I’ve been drinking all day . . . / I got my whiskey / I got my wine / I got my woman / And this time, the lights are going out” (from “High ’n Dry”).
