Well,
Some will see the glass half full and others will see it half empty.
No doubt there are songs, generally in the Country field that talk of more gory subjects. However all of them that went anywhere had a human element to them. Not just glorifying guns and murder. But to each his own.

When writing a song with a colorful metaphor if it is poorly written it will probably not be taken seriously by those in a position to use it. I guess TOES OR ASS IN THE SAND was/is a song that has made it. Keep writing.
