Rockers Pearl Jam have fired back at the bosses of communications firm AT&T after an over-eager censor cut singer Eddie Vedder's George W. Bush blast from their live Lollapalooza webcast on Sunday.

Fans watching the group's performance online were baffled when the sound temporarily cut out during a politically-charged version of Daughter.

The band has since discovered what happened and has posted an explanation on their website, together with a transcript of what Vedder sang to upset the censor.

The statement reads: "When asked about the missing performance, AT&T informed Lollapalooza that portions of the show were in fact missing from the webcast, and that their content monitor had made a mistake in cutting them. During the performance of Daughter the following lyrics were sung to the tune of Pink Floyd's Another Brick In The Wall but were cut from the webcast: 'George Bush, leave this world alone...' and 'George Bush find yourself another home...'"

But the band isn't sold on the idea it was just a mistake and now they're asking fans to alert them anytime they suspect internet censorship.
