Just a continuation of a failed US policy. Bruce was on a trip with Oxfam during this time and made the ultimate statement. Been my earworm all morning.
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
If I had a rocket launcher
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
If I had a rocket launcher
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
If I had a rocket launcher
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 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
