[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Interlude]

[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 2]
Walking 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 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
Yeah, here come the Rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, 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
