I was going to post shortest straw by Metallica so I go to grab the lyrics which I know is a scathing critique of the blacklisting of people with controversial political opinions. It tells the story of a man discriminated against in what’s supposed to be a “free” society.

Then I pull up the lyrics on google - Hey-hey-hey-hey Shortest straw, wa-na-na-na-na Wa-na-na-na-na, wa-na-na-na-na Shortest straw has been pulled for you Pulled for you (shortest straw) Shortest straw, wa, na-na-na-na Shortest straw, wa, na-na-na-na Shortest straw, wa, na-na-na-na Shortest straw Shortest straw has been pulled for you

Jfc.... Fuck, they are even starting to censor written lyrics now. For those who dont know, there aren't any na na's in the song at all.

Have you considered that maybe it wasn't Google censoring, but Metallica threatening to sue anyone who posted their full lyrics?

In today's world, no. They would have just not posted.
