I'm not sure why some of y'all feel swearing in music is taboo. I almost never hear anyone feel it's wrong when people swear in movies, comedy or in our everyday life; especially at work.
As for the song. I get it. Some things I agree with, others I don't. It's a decent southern rock tune.
I actually like Tom. Dude got bars. He's one of the better lyricists today. He's the right wing version of Immortal Technique. Like Immortal Technique, I just can't find myself casually listening to his work. He found his niche and it works for him. It's very monotonous and gets boring.

Personally I don't like swearing at all. To me it demonstrates a couple of things:
1. Disrespect
2. A decay of proper social norms
My oldest grandson swears routinely in normal conversation and his parents do nothing about it. It's disgusting. Can I blame him? It's in movies, songs, video games, his own house.

I will never consider it normal or acceptable.
1: I do see your point regarding respect; however, I highly doubt that disrespect is intended.
2: Define "proper social norms."
Social norms are relative throughout time. 80 years ago most men, when they weren't working, wore slacks a dress shirt with a tie. 500 years ago people said art, thou and a plethora of old English words. More than 1kya English was more like Angish. Perhaps 1k years from now American will be it's own language, and not compatible with modern English. I honestly don't even view swearing as taboo. If someone dropped an F bomb in church, I'd raise an eyebrow though. Besides, the Brits have been swearing as a part of regular language for over a hunnit years now.

Strange, my experience is more people dislike it in movies more than music.
Its typically mothers and Christians who don't want to hear that stuff. They generally are not listening to rap/hip hop, so that is usually not the source for them.
They are far more likely to run into it in movies or TV than music.
I know I don't enjoy hearing a bunch of filthy stuff non stop. Its annoying and rude when women are in the room.
Even before I was a Christian, it didn't make the song better with a lot of vulgar language. It usually made it cheaper. Vulgarity has long been a cover for those who lack genuine talent in music.

There is no denying a steady and rapidly increasing moral decay in our society. Its been going on since the 60's and its increasing exponentially.
If we deny that we are just flat out lying to ourselves.
Lying to ourselves is the national pastime these days though.

Social norms can indeed change. They can change organically or be forced.
I do wonder why if swearing isn't taboo why it would raise an eyebrow in church. I can't imagine swearing indiscriminately while conversing with my mother, my doctor, my boss, in a job interview, with a waitress at a restaurant, with my nextdoor neighbor at the fence, with the cashier at the store, with a teacher at school, during public comment at a local government meeting, etc.
I would expect swearing to be one of the base characteristics defining people conversing in prison, engaged in drug deals, attempting to fit in with pop culture, etc.
To accept it as the new norm, to me, is to accept that our society is expected to sink to the lowest levels imaginable. Again, just my opinion but once that I doubt I will be convinced to change.
