I was shocked!

I bought this disc while searching for something to listen to while traveling with my children (ages 11 and 6). It was sold in the Children's section at both Amazon* and Walmart* and while I recognized a couple of the songs, assumed it was "clean versions" appropriate for small children. Wow! Was I wrong? While the disc may have some songs and poetry that I enjoyed hearing, I would definitely NOT SUGGEST FOR CHILDREN because of the sexual content and drug references in the lyrics!
