I'll admit I never really listen to Talking Heads lyrics an awful lot - as much as I love the sound of the songs themselves, David Byrne's lyrics tend to just be random drivel to me. True Stories is probably the only one I tend to make an exception to that rule for though. Seeing as each song's based off tabloid stories of the day, it makes for more interesting reading/listening to the things.
As for the rest of it, you've gotta wonder what the point in it is. The world of visual art is never gonna pander to the over-sensitive, no matter what some right-wing nutjob tries to do about it.
