It's a bit odd that here we are, all us 60's kids, 50 years on, commenting on the politicising going on in song lyrics. Bob Dylan and a whole bunch of others back in the day were pretty solidly political in their lyrics, so not much new there.

All the swearing and such wasn't there like it is now, but that seems to be part of the change in youngsters in general these days. Whether that's come about because of the 'lyric' content of the songs or if it's come about as 'lyrics' echoing the sentiments of this generation is up for debate, I guess.
