Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ain't found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere
[Verse 2]
Wife and kids, household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Walking tall, machine gun man
They spit on me in my homeland
Gloria sent me pictures of my boy
[Verse 4]
Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death
My buddy's breathing his dying breath
Oh God, please, won't you help me make it through?
[Chorus]
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
