Rooster Lyrics
Artist(Band):Alice In Chains
Review The Song (10)Print the Lyrics
Ain't found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere
Wife and kids, household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere

Yeah 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
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

Yeah 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

Walkin' tall machine gun man
They spit on me in my home land
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

Yeah they come to snuff the rooster, ah yeah
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, you know he ain't gonna die

Review about Rooster

Very Moving Song | Reviewer: Laurie | 8/31/2008
    I actually cried when I saw the video to this song. Jerry Cantrell's dad as a young soldier in Vietnam (as seen through Jerry's perspective) is a total hell and heartbreakingly true. I remember this era all too well. This is a very moving tribute to Jerry's dad and all Vietnam vets.



    Freedom is not free | Reviewer: Plankton | 8/30/2008

    Song evokes so much emotion in those of us who who have given so much to this land. I am a grown man with four children, I've been through a lot in my life & I still cry during our national anthem & the Rooster song.
    Great Job to all who wrote, produced, performed this song.
    Thank you to all who have served, are serving & will serve this great country of ours. It will never die.
    DV

    OLD SCHOOL MAGIC | Reviewer: muse | 4/21/2008

    At the Breaking Benjamin/Three Days Grace/Seether concert I attended recently, they played this song in tribute and a guy sitting next to me explained the story behind it. It was so moving I went home and downloaded it. This is one of those songs that holds some mysterious "OLD SCHOOL MAGIC" -- the chorus has the power to give you chills! What a gem.

    Wow... Just Wow. | Reviewer: AIC | 6/13/2007

    What an amazing song. This song is great in its message it sends. For all of you who are clueless, it is about Cantrell's father who was in Vietnam.
    Just an amazing song. Go buy it.



    you guys are idiots | Reviewer: dan the man | 5/17/2007

    this son is about the guitarists dad who was in nam and he had to go through that as a child...so he wrote that song through his fathers prospective then had layne staley sing it. Gloria is jerry cantrell's mom and the picture of the boy he's asking for is jerry's (his son).



    excellent song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/8/2006
