Note:

Rooster   (Cantrell)

        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
        Yeah here come the rooster, you know he ain't gonna die

        Walkin' tall machine gun man
        They spit on me in my home land
        Gloria sent me pictures of my boy
        Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death
        My buddy's breathin' his dyin' breath
        Oh god please won't you help me make it through

        Here they come to snuff the rooster
        Yeah here come the rooster, you know he ain't gonna die
