If I Had A Rocket Launcher - Bruce Cockburn

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 son of a *****would die
