If I Had A Rocket Launcher (acoustic)

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 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 Lacuntun 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 Instrumental (4x) 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 victim's 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
