Rooster (1991 demo) Songtext
von Alice in Chains

Ain′t found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere, mm-hmm

Wife and kids, household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere

Here they come to snuff the rooster
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
Yeah, here come the rooster, yeah


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

Walkin′ tall machine gunmen
They spit on me in my homeland
Gloria sent me pictures of my boy

Got my pills ′gainst mosquito death
My buddy's breathin′ his dyin' breath
Oh God, please won′t you help me make it through

Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah, here come the rooster, yeah

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


You know, I got a fuckin' pedicure
Alright, alrigh, alright (fuckin' shit)
You won′t miss that colonic, don′t worry about it
What?
