ブルース・コバーン「If I Had a Rocket Launcher」

B0000CERLJ.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

(……ダメだ、最近のオレはまた怒ってばかりだ。顔は笑ってたりするけど)
カネと権力の亡者どもの収奪行為のおかげで、
テロリストは今日も生まれ、罪なき人々が見せしめに殺されていく。
テロリストを憎むだけでは問題解決にはならない。
彼らを悪魔にする者、彼らの内なる「悪」を誘発する者こそ、諸悪の根源。
ブッシュ、ネオコンプーチン……
黙って見過ごしても、結果は同じだ。
ヤツらとテロリストに、やられるだけさ。
やられる前に、やってやる。

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
