Lyrics:

Fragile little thing go lightly on the wing
Don't be put off your game
If troubled winds should blow you off your way
Natural love and trust
Have downed their tools and struck
That the nation's heart it rusts is no surprise
and seems so appropriate todayBlack tears on a red rock
Fall right through and they dry up
How could it fail to grab your attention?
Black tears on a red rockThese trees bear a strange fruit
Harvesting lies and poisoned blossoms of the truth
There''s blood on all our hands and blood on our boots
And black tears on a red rockAn island watch house bed
A black man's lying dead
An island watch house bed
A black man's lying dead

This should have been issued as a single and given top 40 radio airplay, would have given them the number one hit that they so richly deserve.

I heard of the news of this on a radio interview with Bernard on Triple J.

Yes, the threat of a ban on the whole album lead to the decision to redo the track. All a bit of a shock really. Goes to show how touchy the QLD Govt. were at the time.

Like I say, I'd love to hear the un-censored version. I'm surprised Powderfinger don't just perform it live anyway in defiance now. Not sure if this is the true version.. I have a CD player fault to check my Limited Edition copy of the album to check.

@Reproducer100 I only know about it cause their drummer told me and the reason they wanted to ban it is because Of a court case and it was pointing fingers at whos responsible

@Dyzm HELL YEH ! I have no idea why they HAD to modify this song during HURLEYS TRIAL. THE PEOPLE HAVE AN OPINION, and this opinion should not be prejudiced by the fact that a trial is running. The jury are the ultimate people that decide. God i love these guys, they acknowledge what is wrong with our country, and why we still have 'Black Tears'. PEACE
