Songs of Note - If I Had a Rocket Launcher
Songs of Note - "If I Had a Rocket Launcher"\n\nHere comes the helicopter, second time today\nEverybody scatters and hopes it goes away\nHow many kids they've murdered only God can say\nIf I had a rocket launcher...I'd make somebody pay\n\nI don't believe in guarded borders and I don't believe in hate\nI don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states\nAnd when I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate\nIf I had a rocket launcher...I would retaliate\n\nOn the Rio Lacantun, one hundred thousand wait\nTo fall down from starvation, or some less humane fate\nCry for guatemala, with a corpse in every gate\nIf I had a rocket launcher...I would not hesitate\n\nI want to raise every voice, at least I've got to try\nEvery time I think about it water rises to my eyes.\nSituation desperate, echoes of the victims cry\nIf I had a rocket launcher...Some son of a bitch would die \n\n-Bruce Cockburn, from the album "Stealing Fire"\n\n#PoliticalMusic\nPolyrical.com\nmovingtrainradio.com
