b'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'
