"Rooster" is a popular single by the grunge/metal group Alice in Chains. The song was released in 1993 and is featured on their second, full-length studio album, Dirt. It was written by guitarist Jerry Cantrell for his father, who served in the Vietnam War. His nickname was "Rooster." It is unknown where the nickname originated, but there is speculation that it may have been in relation to the 101st Airborne Division, in which Cantrell's father served. Read more on Last.fm.

9 to 5, every day, nonstop, there might be payment
I'm good at what I do, ya know
Call me so professional
Times been tougher lately
I feel like I been losin' it, honey [could also be "burnin'"]
Need a break, need a breath, need a kiss
Oh, won't you save me?
I've held it down for way too long
I forgot to have some fun
[Chorus]
Can you let me be a girl?
Can I put my lipstick on?
Get sexy for myself, you can't tell me it's wrong
And if I wanna cry, I'll be crying like child
'Cause sometimes it gets hard, being a woman
24/7 days a week uh-uh, yeah, 24/7, 24/7
24/7 days a week uh-uh, yeah, 24/7, 24/7
24/7 days a week uh-uh
Baby, a diamond's made by pressure try and break me
Never can, never will, never could nothin' can phase me
And when life gets too serious, get wild get delirious (Ay)
Baby I gotta let my hair down, need to feel free now
Take me out on the town
Engage me now
'Cuz I forgot to have some fun
[Chorus]
Can you let me be a girl?
Can I put my lipstick on?
Get sexy for myself, you can't tell me it's wrong
And if I wanna cry, I'll be crying like child
'Cause sometimes it gets hard, being a woman
24/7 days a week uh-uh, yeah, 24/7, 24/7
24/7 days a week uh-uh, yeah, 24/7, 24/7
24/7 days a week uh-uh
24/7
24/7
24/7 days a week, uh-huh
24/7
24/7
24/7 days a week
[Chorus]
Can you let me be a girl?
Can I put my lipstick on?
Get sexy for myself, you can't tell me it's wrong
And if I wanna cry, I'll be crying like child
'Cause sometimes it gets hard, being a woman
24/7 days a week uh-uh, yeah, 24/7, 24/7
24/7 days a week uh-uh, yeah, 24/7, 24/7
