Where the Death Squad Lives
#BruceCockburn

Goons in blackface creeping in the road
Farm family waiting for the night to explode
Working the land in an age of terror
You come to see the moon as the bad news bearer
Down where the death squad lives

And they cut down people like they cut down trees
Chop off its head so it will stay on its knees
The forest shrinks but the earth remains
Slash and burn and it grows again
Down where the death squad lives

@Yehuda

Really reminds me of the album cover of one of my favourite musicians, #BruceCockburn, Waiting for a Miracle (1987).

It's an image by #RobertDavidson called "Raven Bringing Light to the World":

Sometimes the best map will not guide you
You can't see what's round the bend
Sometimes the road leads through dark places
Sometimes the darkness is your friend

#BruceCockburn

In my opinion, one of the best songs ever written by one of the best songwriters in history.

If I had a rocket launcher

#hashtaggames

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
-B. Cockburn
--------------------------------------------------
Nothing says “happy Memorial Day” like waking up to your town being buzzed by helicopters from both the military and highway patrol.
This song is gonna be stuck in my head all day along with a picture of Jonathan Vance giving Cockburn an actual rocket launcher after performing this song in Afghanistan; oh, the delicious irony.

Call Me Rose

#BruceCockburn

My name was Richard Nixon only now I'm a girl
You wouldn't know it but I used to be the king of the world
Compared to last time I look like I've hit the skids
Living in the project with my two little kids
It's not what I would have chose
Now you have to call me Rose

I was the boss of bosses the last time around
I lived by cunning and ambition unbound
The suckers said they'd stand behind me right or wrong
As if they thought that hubris was the mark of the strong
I was an arrogant man
But now I've got it in hand
It's not what I would have chose
Now you have to call me Rose

It's Going Down Slow

#BruceCockburn

God, damn the hands of glory
That hold the bloody firebrand high
Close the book and end the story
Of how so many men have died

Let the world retain in memory
That mighty tongues tell mighty lies
And if mankind must have an enemy
Let it be his warlike pride

Let it be his warlike pride
