Story Behind The Song
The Line "Strange Fruit Growing on the Poplar Tree" is taken from a song from the trun of the last century and as I understand it, the strange fruit was a black man that had been hung. Grim but powerful
Song Description
This is a song about how men treat each other
Like... the indian, the black man... And how madness is passed down for generation to generation

Lyrics
LITTLE ONE
Three little two little one little one
Nowhere to run and hide So they died
War paint battle axe
Peace pipe left behind
Floating in a river of the blood of all the dead
Some men will never learn
Some things remain the same
Strange fruit growing on the poplar tree again
Karma circle spinning round and round
To the lane where the king was beaten
Set those children free no difference to time to wait
Hey you remove you skin we?re all the same
Three little two little one little one
Nowhere to run and hide So they died
Mens madness poisoning the root of the family tree
The fruit that is growing there is so strange so strange indeed
Three little two little one little one
Nowhere to run and hide So they died
