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

(**)   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   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   god please won't you help me make it through

It was the start of the healing process between my Dad and I from all that damage that Vietnam caused. This was all my perception of his experiences out there. The first time I ever heard him talk about it was when we made the video and he did a 45-minute interview withMark Pellington and I was amazed he did it. He was totally cool, totally calm, accepted it all and had a good time doing it. It even brought him to the point of tears. It was beautiful. He said it was a weird experience, a sad experience and he hoped that nobody else had to go through it.           (wikipedia)
