Ooh-hoo ooh ooh ooh ooh oohoo
Ooh-hoo ooh ooh ooh
Ooh oohoo
Ain't found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere, mm
Wife and kids, household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere, mm
Here they come to snuff the Rooster, oh 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, mm
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
Yeah, here come the Rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no, you know he ain't gonna die
Ooh-hoo ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-hoo

Ain't found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere, mm

Army green was no safe bet
