Ain't found a way to kill me yet

Eyes burn with stinging sweat

Seems every path leads me to nowhere

Wife and kids, household pet

Army green was no safe bet

The bullets scream to me from somewhere

Here they come to snuff the Rooster, ah yeah

Yeah, here come the Rooster, yeah

You know he ain't gonna die

No, no, no, you know he ain't gonna die

Here they come to snuff the Rooster, ah yeah

Yeah, here come the Rooster, yeah

You know he ain't gonna die

No, no, no, you know he ain't gonna die

Walking tall, machine gun man

They spit on me in my homeland

Gloria sent me pictures of my boy

Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death

My buddy's breathing his dying breath

Oh God, please, won't you help me make it through?

Here they come to snuff the Rooster, ah yeah

Yeah, here come the Rooster, yeah

You know he ain't gonna die

No, no, no, you know he ain't gonna die
