That was the point I was making yes. That and the band is called the Dead Kennedys, like. They were a different kind of cancelled in 1978, there's probably a whole thesis in that.

Listen, we can point out all the context of these things all we like but I bet no one on here is willing to use the n-word in any song they write. I think you can still get away with it in fiction interestingly enough. That's the second thesis proposal in this post.

I think the main difference between the 2 is that fictional writing is generally an attempt to represent someone else's viewpoint whereas songwriting is generally seen as a direct representation of the artists viewpoint.
 
I'd say moreso, when you right lyrics you kinda consider what its like to have to shout them at people over and over and over again rather than just living in them as a tangent to a fantasy for a few days.
 
Background reading. Kinda a long read.

I remember myself and my brother were listening to a Venom song, I think it was called Poison, it was about getting the clap. The lyrics were pretty awful and I remember we were questioning how grown men could recite these lyrics from a stage without being absolutely mortified

Yes, or at least songwriting is assumed to be a direct representation of the artists viewpoint, rightly or wrongly. Sometimes wrongly.
 
I never understood the perception that lyrics were generally first person in their intent - especially in Ireland where we have a good tradition of narrative songwriting.

Venom are hilarious..... Probably unintentional.
