Here comes the Boeing F35, twenty times a day
Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away
How many kids they’ve murdered no one 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 Gaza borders, and I don’t believe in hate
I don’t believe in IDF or their stinking Apartheid state
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 Raffah border, two million Palestinians wait
To fall down from starvation, or some less humane fate

Cry for Palestina, with a corpse at 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, those Zionists would pay.… Go to Article
