Rolling Stones' Super Bowl songs censored

Apparently the Rolling Stones agreed to have their lyrics censored during their half time performance at the Super Bowl. I was expecting some pretty strong expletives to be cut out... The actual words cut are in brackets below:

Start Me Up
"You, you, you make a grown man cry
You, you make a dead man **** [come]"


Rough Justice
"One time you were my baby chicken
Now you've grown into a fox
And once upon a time I was your little rooster
Am I just one of your **** [cocks]?"


Wow! This is pretty lame. For a country that prides itself on free speech and has the largest adult entertainment industry in the world, this is quite feeble. If the lyrics hadn't been censored, I'm sure no one would've made a squeak! Obviously Janet's "wardrobe malfunction" two years ago changed the rules of the game (what was going on with that nipple ring??)
