Steemit Open Mic Week 44 "Rocket Launcher" (Bruce Cockburn cover)

We changed a few lyrics to bring attention to the continued ethnic cleansing of Palestine, we don't think Bruce would mind.

Lyrics:

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

Within the siege of Gaza, 2 million people wait
To fall down from starvation -- or some less humane fate
Cry for Palestine, 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
