                               Cover by Chuck Prophet (album Wake The dead)

Sally was a cop but now she′s a solider
another foot deep
another debt older
I used to be on top
now I just roll over
I used to run hot
now I run a little colder

they're marching up the streets
people hiding in their cubbords
from the crooked politicos
to the mercenary lovers
the socialites and psychopaths are
dancing with each other
Sally was a cop now she′s a solider

shot in the face in the ditches of Tecate
35 bodies lying in the highway
children forced to dig the graves of their fathers
Sally was a cop
now she's a solider

they're marching down the street
people hiding in their cubbords
children′s forced to dig
the graves of their fathers

Sally was a cop
now she′s a solider
