I have had trouble finding this song uncensored in CD quality (WAV or FLAC) . Everywhere offering it seems to either have a new version of it, or a censored version of the original. Anyone know where I can find it? I don't even mind if I have to pay for it, I just am sick of the censored versions. I even managed to find one without the swear words censored, but "gun" still was. It's frustrating.

This is why physical media is important.
With digital backups if possible.
Although some physical stuff has already been altered; ET and the original lyrics to the Aladdin theme are two examples that spring immediately to mind.
You might also want to start watching what edition of books you're looking at.
Granted, it's better than digitial, which can be altered faster and more completely than the old ways of altering, but hell, even stuff actually carved in stone was never safe.
I apparently have not been keeping up with censorship in media. What did they change with ET and the Aladdin theme?
The original ET in both theatres and old VHS releases had the mom say the boy looked like a "terrorist" because he needed a haircut (before he finds the alien). This was changed (in the DVD era) to "hippie". Edit: I remember some friends making hay with this, but upon reflection, it might have been changed after 9-11 for reasons.
Aladdin, there used to be a line - theatrical release only, I don't think it made it as far as VHS, but I saw that flick in theatres several times (I had little kids), and the line was "Where they cut off your hand if they don't like your face". Can't remember what they changed it to, something lame, anyway.
“Where it’s flat and immense, and the heat is intense”
Thanks. I knew they have been altering legacy media, didn't know they were so egregious about it even for seemingly infinitesimal offences to their woke ideology.
Don't get me started on what they started to do to Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies shorts in the 80s ... especially "Mouse Wreckers", with the cat gulping "Nerve Tonic" by the bottleful ... so that any home recordings after that time are, guess what, the censored versions of these films ... and the censorship started about the time VHS became affordable ....
They've been doing it a very long time.
Have you looked on archive.org? I found an anti-nigger album there that I couldn't find anywhere else. I don't trust them not to wipe shit when the usual suspects complain but you might be surprised what you can find there.
Tried it, only found the censored.
And they have wiped shit when the usual suspects complain (like Kiwi Farms). Or they "deemphasize" it.
Found it at last, at "Qobuz", a high quality music download site. Cost me two bucks though.
Soulseek for any music downloading you'd ever want
This is what you’re looking for: https://gofile.io/d/Nb227M
Kontrollverlust (German cover band) does a decent version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeDvgfoKpgE
I know that's not what you're looking for, but I just really like this band, lol.
But other than that, yeah, it's very hard to find a version that isn't at least partly censored (i.e. "gun"), I would agree. My experience has been similar to yours, unfortunately...
I think I have what you're looking for. It's 128kb/s though.

Thanks, I will make do with it until I find the CD I guess, as it looks like that's the only way I'm going to find what I'm looking for in the quality I want.
I listened again because I didn't remember the lyrics. (except "iron maiden") Why the fuck is this getting censored?
"Her boyfriend's a dick, and he brings a gun to school
And he'd simply kick, my ass if he knew the truth"
"Dick" is censored because profanity, "ass" may be similarly censored.
"Gun" is censored in an attempt to decrease any likelihood of inspiring school shootings.
I weep for this generation.
Genius appears to have the uncensored lyrics lol
i still have the original in my old HD archive if you can't find it
Thanks, but I managed to find it. Ridiculous how difficult it was though to find a decent quality version of it.
I heard the completely uncensored original version on Sirius XM yesterday and thought of this post. It’s clearly out there, I can’t imagine why it’s so hard to find.

It's pretty low-effort, but I don't think it needs a removal.
I was seriously looking for the song, it wasn't any form of spam or self promotion.

I don't mind.
