Duck Hunt Lyric Decipherment

Can you help me decipher the lyrics from a song called "Modular11"? It is part of a compilation album of songs based on the NES Duck Hunt theme song. I find the song very catchy but I cannot for the life of me figure out what some of the words are.
The song is freely available (rights-wise); one copy is located here.
The lyrics, which repeat several times throughout the song, start about 45 seconds in. Here's what I've been able to work out so far:
1: When I pull out my light gun, ducks gonna die today
2: ?????? unless they [all/will] fly away
3: Depopulation is what I've been saying I want from these ducks!
4: [purposely unintelligible?]
4: I got ?????? Egyptian
5: ??? in the living room, one in the kitchen
6: Life is ??? a single duck
7: [purposely unintelligible?]
8: Duck hunt!
Can anyone make out any of the ??? parts?

Best answer: The first half of #4 is "I got redneck roots"
#6 is "Not missin' a single duck"

Response by poster: Cool, thanks for the infos! To recap, and to correct my seeming inability to count beyond four, here's what we've got so far:
1: When I pull out my light gun, ducks gonna die today
2: Beat level 50, with us they won't fly away
3: Depopulation is what I've been saying I want from these ducks!
4: [purposely unintelligible?]
5: I got redneck roots, ??? Egyptian
6: ??? in the living room, one in the kitchen
7: Not missin' a single duck!
8: [purposely unintelligible?]
9: Duck hunt!

Best answer: The intelligible line 4 sounds sort of like "Let me spell it out here"

Response by poster: Hmm, that kinda makes sense. I wonder if 5 and 6 refer to either a type or manufacturer/model/etc of firearm. Unfortunately, I'm not the expert on that sort of thing.
