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 sonofabitch would die
