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
