Aus aktuellem Anlass
(weil ich mich in den letzten Tagen wieder
mal sehr damit identifizieren kann.....)

If I had a rocket launcher
Bruce Cockburn


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 son of a bitch would die
