Here comes the girl, she's got her head screwed on
But it ain't screwed on right
Her ambition is to be a prostitute
But the breaks just weren't right
What exactly's gonna happen, tell me
When her father finds out
That his virgin daughter has bordello dreams
And that he's the one she wants to try out
yeah

The MOST controversial? Depends on the era.
"Satisfaction" from Lineup 1.
"Star Star" from Lineup 2.
"Some Girls" from Lineup 3.
Honorable Mentions: "Paint It, Black", "Stray Cat Blues", "Street Fighting Man",
"Sympathy for the Devil", "@#$%& Blues" ( unofficial; doesn't truly count )
Overall, "Star Star" for reasons already posted.

"Brown Sugar" could have been very controversial, if more people had been able to understand the lyrics. Even Jagger admitted the lyrics were awful (as in offensive, not inept).
But I'd have to go w/ "Some Girls" - having Jesse Jackson organize protests about one's song is pretty bad.
Isn't it strange though - Jagger doesn't seem the least bit prejudiced against black people and yet several of his songs are quite racially insensitive.

"I bet your mama was a tent show queen" - whore
Well I would think "hear him whip the women" would be more controversial.Quote

I've never heard that expression used outside of that lyric in my life. And never knew what it meant until now.
Anyone else?

"sweet neo con"- it´s not that great as a song, but it´s really interesting to hear Mick ranting about right wing hypocrites...I like the lyrics, but once you heard the song once or twice, it ..it´s boring.

That surely could have been edited out of the final release...it's not like they only had 9 songs and desperately needed a 10th.
It wouldn't have made the cut for Dirty Work.
EVEN THOUGH I could identify with the disdain in the lyrics, this was just a plain bad song.
