 Here comes the helicopter,
 E      D    C       D  E
 Second time today
 E    D    C       D  E
 Everybody scatters 
 E            D    C    D  E
 And hopes it goes away
 E        D            C       D  E
 How many kids they've murdered 
 E    D       C    B   A
 Only God can say

 If I had a rocket launcher
 A                 D
 If I had a rocket launcher
 A                 D
 If I had a rocket launcher
              E  D  C  D  E  D  C  E
 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
 If I had a rocket launcher
 If I had a rocket launcher
 I would retaliate
 
 On the Rio Lacuntun 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
 If I had a rocket launcher
 If I had a rocket launcher
 I would not hesitate
 
 INSTRUMENTAL 
 
 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 victim's cry
 If I had a rocket launcher
 If I had a rocket launcher
 If I had a rocket launcher
 Some son-of-a-bitch would die
