[Verse 1]
Here comes the helicopter—second time today
Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away
How many kids they've murdered only God can say

[Chorus]
If I had a rocket launcher
If I had a rocket launcher
If I had a rocket launcher
I'd make somebody pay

[Verse 2]
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
When I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate

[Chorus]
If I had a rocket launcher
If I had a rocket launcher
If I had a rocket launcher
I would retaliate

[Verse 3]
On the Rio Lacantún one hundred thousand wait
To fall down from starvation—or some less humane fate
Cry for Guatemala with a corpse in every gate
