The story behind this song makes it so much better. "Rooster" was the nick name of Jerry Cantrell's (AIC guitarist) father during Vietnam. This song is obviously about dealing with all of the hardships of that war.
The music video shows actual clips of him in Vietnam. I think it's safe to say that Cantrell's dad was a total badass. Hope I did this legendary song some justice. Rock on!

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
Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah, here come the rooster
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, 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 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, no you know he ain't gonna die
