Should songs with questionable lyrics be banned?

Pinball wizard by The Who contains these lyrics

That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

Or Junior's Farm by Paul McCartney

I was talking to an Eskimo
Said he was hoping for a fall of snow

After all Dr Seuss had his book banned for showing an Asian eating rice
I personally feel there was no intention of ill will

@smiler2012 originally it was not a racist word. John Lennon even wrote the song Women are the N of the world
