The+Rooster

What do you think this song is about? Who is the Rooster? Who’s they? What is the artist discussing in VERSE 2?

Rooster

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
 * Verse 1**

Here they come to snuff the rooster Yeah here come the rooster, yeah You know he ain’t gonna die No, no, no, ya know he ain’t gonna die
 * Chorus**

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
 * Verse 2**

Chorus Here they come to snuff the rooster Yeah here come the rooster, yeah You know he ain’t gonna die No, no, no ya know he ain’t gonna die
