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
