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 son of a ***** would die
