Why complain. I'd rather kids be listening to nursery rhymes than watching TV or playing video games at the age they'd be listening to these. You want to cut back on violence exhibited to kids, then curtail the TV and the games altogether. They're the problem, not the nursery rhymes.
In any case, these "nursery rhymes" were never meant for kids in the first place. Most were coded rhymes made up by adults for adults "consumption" and half of them had political messages to begin with. Three Blind Mice, for example. Baa Baa Black Sheep is another. It's about class divisions within society.
They only became "proper nursery rhymes" in the mid to late 19th Century.
