Bruce Cockburn - If I had a rocket launcher

Here comes the helicopter
Second time today
Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away
How many kids they've murdered,
Only god can say
If I had a rocket launcher...
I'd make somebody pay

I don't believe in guarded borders
And I don't believe in hate
I don't believe in generals
Or their stinking torture states
And when I talk with the survivors
Of things too sickening to relate
If I had a rocket launcher...
I would retaliate On the Rio Lacantun one hundred thousand wait
To fall down from starvation
Or some less humane fate
Cry for guatemala,
With a corpse in every gate
If I had a rocket launcher...
I would not hesitate

I want to raise every voice
At least i've got to try
Every time I think about it
Water rises to my eyes
Situation: desperate echoes of the victims cry
If I had a rocket launcher...
Some sonofabitch would die
