A reminder of my night in Chontales province, the village in blackout, contra spotted on a nearby hill, the men on alert with ricket launchers, the babies desperately hushed by cradling mothers in the dark...Bruce knows.
This was playing on Stingray Music's 80's channel the other day, I knew it was Brice Cockburn, but didn't get the title until checking the history online. Great song!!
Sounds like a number one hit song on the Billboard charts in 1984-A in Biff Tannen's twisted version of the 1980s he created with the Sports Almanac in the 1989 film, Back to the Future 2...
That would be something to hear. Marty became obscure in the progression of time but he’s an excellent vocalist especially when harmonizing with Grace e.g. Count On Me.
Here comes the helicopter, second time today Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away How many kids they've murdered only God can say, hey 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 victims 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
This song show how people feel in there lifes how thing are not right in some country s .There no hope in the life's of people cought up in there government s stupid wars life's not fare for the insent .kids and the people fighting for what they don't believe or understand

Provocative title and unforgettably venomous lyrics for one of the greatest songs from the 1980s and many people wish they had one.
This dudes been awake a long time.
Finally somebody found this song
Stuck in my head for years
Yep...I have deep feelings for the songs Bruce Cockburn writes about...have for fourty years.
Totally forgot about this gem of a song. Been years since last hearing it. Still sounds great.

I heard this tune once on the radio in the mid 80's and the line, "if I had a rocket launcher," stuck in my head. The sound is great on this video.

awesome
Some fine drum's on this song
Drum's what? You used the possessive.
Here comes the helicopter, second time today
Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away
How many kids they've murdered only God can say, hey
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 victims 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
thank you.
..."I'd be slightly patient"... "I'd wait AND WAIT AND wait. wait...."
This song show how people feel in there lifes how thing are not right in some country s .There no hope in the life's of people cought up in there government s stupid wars life's not fare for the insent .kids and the people fighting for what they don't believe or understand

I'd like to hear Bruce sing this in Ukrainian 🤔
good idea, I haven't thought of that yet.
What's wrong with English
why
Shut it
I love this song and for some reason this makes me think this could have been a menu song for WWE 2k16
I dont want to make politiques.. But i love russia and ukrainia dont bother me... This Song however is about desperat times in central america !!!
Nine out of ten people have no idea what this song is about . Shameful
Must be so difficult for you being in the know, surrounded by ignorance and deceit. I’m sorry
If I had a rocket launcher some son of a bitch would Die....
....and it would be putin...then it would be kin jong un, or however you say that piece of shit's name.
I love russia but Ukraine doesnt disturb me
Bruce cbt
Knowone in Canada should be without clean water cmon Trudeau!! promises promises!! and damn it leave the trees alone
This is the song you're screaming right now. This is a song praying for peace in Ukraine. President Putin's vulgarity is extraordinary.
Putin's vulgarity...Intelligently incinerated
Ukranian should have used diplomacy. Instead of laughing alongside the West , Russia was a country's in the dustbin of history.
We support Ukraine!
New War Cheer for the Ukrainian Military in March 2022
What happened before March 2022?
Un vrai hymne anti bisounours!!!
Free Palestine
More relevant than ever (in Trump's version of "America") SADLY.
u r an idiot. I feel much safer in America now than I have in 20 yrs.
I'm with you, Lisa.
HAHAHA Oh what a fool.
Kreuhn Kohrman Lisa is the fool.
You're all fools to think that either party will make you safe
Thinking of Ukraine
If I had a rocket launcher, I’d make Putin pay
Mr gateth thith oneth fo u
(Ode to bill gates)
Great song, but he’s singing about Mao, not what you think.
NATO provides free launchers to whom may need one.
