I've said this before, and I'll say it again - the uncensored version is a much better representation of Yang's character (as it should be). The way I see it, when she gets angry so angry that it changes her eye color, she's not going to use filters. All of that pent up rage is coming out, in both her fists and her words, and saying that she's not going to curse just seems stupid.

When I get (really) angry, I loose all of my filters, and all bets are off for what I might say. And I'm not an over-the-top anime character whose hair catches on fire.

Point is, by catering to a specific audience, I think that RT actually did a massive disservice to one of it's characters. Uncensored, the song gets accross the point of unbridled, unrestricted rage; pure and threatening - Something that can't be broken or slowed down untill it burns itself out. Censored, the song sounds weak. It lacks force. It sounds like something a moody pre-teen would listen to while they brood over their "stupid parents". And, the worst part is, I can easily see someone defined by the censored song being broken. When your utmost, pure-rage state doesn't even include cursing, you either aren't as angry as you can get or you're weak. Yang is neither, and that's why I think the cesnorship was simply a stupid decision. It doesn't define Yang in the way the uncensored version does, and that, I think, is my greatest problem with it.
