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
Ooh-hoo ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-hoo

Alice in Chains

Alice in Chains are a Seattle-based rock band. They rose to international fame in the early 1990s as part of the ‘grunge’ movement. They are one of the most critically and commercially acclaimed acts of the 90s. Their first 3 studio albums all went multi-platinum and they have received 8 Grammy nominations for Best Hard Rock performance (sadly, never winning once).

Their unique sound comes from the harmonized vocals of co-founders Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell, as showcased in some of their biggest songs like “No Excuses” from Jar of Flies, “Angry Chair” from Dirt and “Again” from the self-titled album. Cantrell also serves as the primary songwriter and guitarist of the band.

The band was never restricted to grunge. Cantrell believes it to be heavy metal; and indeed a lot of modern heavy metal bands cite Alice in Chains as an influence, including Metallica for Death Magnetic.
