If you just take the Devil Without A Cause album, then I agree, it would be out of place.

But that's like pigeonholing Jovi to one "hair band" album or saying The Beatles only ever sang psychedelic drug songs.

Some of the songs might be offensive - but Jon's language is never exemplary on stage - shit, it's a rock'n'roll show. Take the kids to see Hannah Montanna or something.
