Misinterpreted lyrics

Well you′ve done it in a unique way
You've had your own record camp base, record label
You′ve been nailing in business
I mean what
Is this your ability, desire to sort of at least keep it with under you control
So that no one else will be able to sense your stuff before it comes out?

Well, look the experiences that I've had with censorship go back to the time
When I had my first record contract with MGM
We had a song called Let's Make The Water Turn Black
And had a line in it that said
I still remember mama with her apron and her pad
Feeding all the boys at Ed′s café
And then that line took about eight bars of music
Just prior to the bridge in the song

And somebody at the record company thought that that line was obscene
And chopped out eight bars of music out of the song and I didn′t find out about it
Until the album was out on the street
And I found out years later that the reason that they took those words out is
Because some guy at the record company thought that the references
To the pad was a sanitary napkin you know which absolutely was not
It was about a waitress wearing an apron holding a pad
You know like the pad

And uhh but somebody was convinced otherwise
So censorship or the situation where a third party gets to determine what your material means
May often lead to misinterpretation just as the person who hears the records
Without any censorships at all may misinterpret what you mean
But it compounds the difficulty as an artist getting a point across to an audience
If it has to go through a third party who gets to chew it first before somebody else gets to hear it
It's unpleasant
