THE ROOSTER

THE ROOSTER
Alice in Chains

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

I COULD NOT FIND A SATISFACTORY INTERPRETATION FOR 'THE ROOSTER''S MEANING, SO BRIEFLY, IN ANY WARRING CONFLICT THE SLANG FOR THE SOLDIER LEFT ALIVE FROM A PLATOON OR TROUPE AFTER ALL THE OTHERS MURDERED, IS THE WHAT IS THE 'ROOSTER'...VK ESPECIALLY LIKED TO CHASE DOWN AND TORTURE THE ROOSTER PSYCHOLOGICALLY, PHYSICALLY, AND PHILOSOPHICALLY BEFORE THEY GAVE THE COUP DE GRACE.

THE ROOSTER IS ALSO TYPICALLY ONE OF THE MOST INTELLIGENT OF THIS GROUP DUE TO IT'S 'ROLE' AS A SNIPER OR SOMETIMES MEANING ONE WHO FOUGHT WITH THE 101st AIRBORNE.
