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

    For the record, U.S. Involvement began in the 1950's when it supported the overthrow of Guzman. It continued mostly unabated for the next 40 years. The only exception would be the Carter Administration. Hence, when the US returned to its previous "policy", the left blamed the new administration. But, this was all part of making us safe from Communism. Feel safe yet? Here come the unmanned drones, 10 thousandth time today..........
