[Intro]

Ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]

Ain't found a way to kill me yet

Eyes burn with stingin' sweat

Seems every path leads me to nowhere, mm-mm

Wife and kids, household pet

Army green was no safe bet

The bullets scream to me from somewhere, mm-mm

[Chorus]

Here they come to snuff the Rooster, aw, yeah

Yeah, here come the Rooster, yeah

You know he ain't gonna die

No, no, no, you know he ain't gonna die

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Here they come to snuff the Rooster, aw, 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 2]

Walkin' tall, machine-gun man

They spit on me in my homeland

Gloria sent me pictures of my boy, mm-mm

Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death

My buddy's breathin' his dyin' breath

Oh, God, please, won't you help me make it through? Mm-mm

[Chorus]

Here they come to snuff the Rooster, aw yeah

Yeah, here come the Rooster, yeah

You know he ain't gonna die

No, no, you know he ain't gonna die

[Outro]

Ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
