lyrics

Sally was a cop, but now she's a soldier
Another foot deep
Another day older
I used to be on top
Now I just roll over
I used to run hot
Now I run a little colder

Well, they're marching up the street
people hiding in their cupboards
From the crooked politicos
to the mercenary lovers
The socialites and psychopaths are
dancing with each other
Sally was a cop, but now she's a soldier

Shot in the back 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 soldier

They're marching up the street
people hiding in their cupboards
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 soldier
