Bruce Cockburn - If I Had A Rocket Launcher

[@michaelbruns449]

Provocative title and unforgettably venomous lyrics for one of the greatest songs from the 1980s and many people wish they had one.

[@kylekerwin4993]

Totally forgot about this gem of a song. Been years since last hearing it. Still sounds great.

[@jenpw1525]

This dudes been awake a long time.

[@Leonard-ie5fz]

Finally somebody found this song Stuck in my head for years

[@gmansi]

[@godfreymccammon4531]

Yep...I have deep feelings for the songs Bruce Cockburn writes about...have for fourty years.

[@tonyreilley2842]

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.

[@deenayls5055]

Ab4solutely one of the best songs of all time

[@lilaheat1977]

May 27th....he'll be 75 yrs old...one of my favourite....

[@sissonsk]

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.

[@cammy85]

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!!

[@kevinoliver9255]

One of my favorite artists since the late 1970s. A true poet!!

[@johnstallings4049]

Gotta say.... 🔥🇮🇱 🔥/ #BDS 💗🇵🇸🌸💥💣❄🌎❄

[@hydraagent13]

Best audio quality I found so far... Thanx

[@babewebster]

I never hear this enough.

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Incredible, passionate lyrics.

[@Justin-Hill-1987]

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...

[@JefferyPerrin]

Play song needs to be re-released.

[@reginajones2616]

Favorite artist since I was 9 years old ❤

I heard Marty Balin (ex-Jefferson Airplane/Starship) do a great cover of this in concert several years ago.

[@patb5266]

Cool, thanks!

[@ericsfreshfishmarket5560]

Searched and found this and am listening now: Thanks for the heads up~ kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2XZeqKpq8SNbtk

[@abarkcanoe]

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.

[@rogert1326]

Love this song!!

[@marklawson2]

Some fine drum's on this song

[@HardPen-jj5nl]

Drum's what? You used the possessive.

[@SuperMasters2009]

[@legendofdavey2421]

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

[@zachariahlanteigne9026]

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

[@thepeopleofplanetearth5202]

thank you.

..."I'd be slightly patient"... "I'd wait AND WAIT AND wait. wait...."

[@calman9826]

Nine out of ten people have no idea what this song is about . Shameful

[@MrRosettaStonned]

Must be so difficult for you being in the know, surrounded by ignorance and deceit. I’m sorry

[@fmnrbmbg9736]

Bruce cbt

[@Anthonyc263]

I love this song and for some reason this makes me think this could have been a menu song for WWE 2k16

[@大久保喜博]

This is the song you're screaming right now. This is a song praying for peace in Ukraine. President Putin's vulgarity is extraordinary.

[@C-man553]

Putin's vulgarity...Intelligently incinerated

[@MartinWiller-kt9fe]

I love russia but Ukraine doesnt disturb me

[@jerrywillis5585]

We support Ukraine!

[@deenayls5055]

Knowone in Canada should be without clean water cmon Trudeau!! promises promises!! and damn it leave the trees alone

[@MartinWiller-kt9fe]

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 !!!

[@generaleclectic5677]

Un vrai hymne anti bisounours!!!

[@MarkDragavon69]

If I had a rocket launcher, I’d make Putin pay

[@Enkarashaddam]

Thinking of Ukraine

[@C-man553]

Great song, but he’s singing about Mao, not what you think.

[@clink76]

New War Cheer for the Ukrainian Military in March 2022

[@jamesroy4528]

More relevant than ever (in Trump's version of "America") SADLY.

[@lisas9034]

[@johnvinga5446]

[@whiskeyblood]

HAHAHA Oh what a fool.

[@whiskeyblood]

Kreuhn Kohrman Lisa is the fool.

[@rudolphpatush2071]

You're all fools to think that either party will make you safe

[@MizMite2002]

NATO provides free launchers to whom may need one.
