Dropped hammer to fall lyrics at Live Aid

"Build your muscles as your body decays yeah"
Brian plays a high note on the guitar as if they planned this. It seems totally plausible they would take this lyric out because of the subject of the day being starving children in Ethiopia.
Anyone shed any light on this?

Kinda stupid to take issue with a comment that has a very obvious ":P" on the end of it. But hey, who's complaining! :P

I can see how it might offend someone who was oversensitive, but I don't really think that's why they dumped it surely.
I mean, you'd have to be one of those people who thought Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds stood for L.S.D to take offence at this lyric.
