If I Had A Rocket Launcher - Bruce Cockburn

Here come 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

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

If I had a rocket launcher

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

If I had a rocket launcher

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

If I had a rocket launcher

If I had a rocket launcher

Some sonofa***** would die
