Ain't found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere, hmm
Wife and kids and household pets
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere, hmm
Here they come to snuff the rooster, ahh yeah
Yeah, here come the rooster, yeah!
You know he ain't gonna to die
No, no, no, you know he ain't gonna to die

Yeah, here come the rooster, yeah!
You know he ain't gonna to die
No, no, no, you know he ain't gonna die
Walking tall machine gunman
They spit on me in my homeland
Gloria sent me pictures of my boy
Got my pills against mosquito death
My buddy's breathing his dying breath
Oh God, please won't you help me bring him through
