If I had a rocket launcher / Bruce Cockburn Cover (LIVE IN SAN DIEGO 2012)
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 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 100,000 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 son of a bitch would die
