I would like to filter out swear words so I can play otherwise good songs at my work without offending the guests.

iTunes just plays the mp3 you ask it to play. So you would have to edit it yourself first.

that contains offensive lyrics, are usually sold in two different versions.

Explicit, where the offensive words are left in place and a version where the words are either changed or muted.
This is not done by Apple but by the distributing company.
