In my work experience, Rooster is crack cocaine. Dragon is heroin. Pig is PCP. One of my coworkers put together a fairly complete Chinese zodiac with drug slang terms. Wish I still had it, but he retired and I didn't keep a copy.

It should also be noted that drug slang changes almost as fast as teen slang, goovy, huh?

I heard an interview with the band once and they said it was about one of the member's father (I can't remember which) in the Vietnam war.

Quote:

Jerry's dad did serve in Vietnam and use to tell jerry stories of the horrible things he had seen. The Rooster is symbolic for America. The Marines carried a flag with an eagle on it. No eagles were in Vietnam but they were very active in rooster farming. Therefore, Vietnam soldiers thought the eagle was a rooster so every time they would attack they would say "It's time to snuff the Rooster" or it's time to kill the Americans. When the song says "Yeah they've come to snuff the Rooster. Oh, here comes the Rooster. you know he ain't gonna die." It refers to the Americans fighting back and surviving.

Snuff is another word for killing or to kill, read the lyrics it'll all make since.
