I very strongly disagree with censorship.

Perhaps you could compare the restriction of lyrics in music to the restriction of certain musical intervals in the past? The Church forbade the use of certain intervals (3rds and 6ths) until composers gradually began to include them (mainly due to John Dunstaple). Of course folk musicians were exempt from such restrictions.

But restricting lyrics is a good analogy to restricting musical intervals. We did away with one, so it only makes sense to do away with the other.
