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

Somehow I neglected the chance to see him in Berkeley at a small pub, within a block or so. My mistake
Damn, first listen, instant 10. Wow.
"I used to be on top
Now I just roll over"
Now I just roll over"
This is one of those songs that sticks in my head long after it ends. So damn good. 9 from me.
The vocals sound very close to Eddie Money
Great tune!
Great tune!
Reminds me of DBT's "Used to be Cop".
Every single time I listen to this I raise my rating. Really excellent!
I seem to be hearing a little Rick James in here...
Love the crunchy guitar and the lyrics are biting. Easy 7 but could bump this to an 8. And another new artist discovery for me, thanks to RP!

Prophet co-wrote the song with Escovedo.
I love the original version by Alejandro Escovedo and digging this cover.

Rather good methinks..
I can’t not hear Eddie Money
A bit overplayed
The screaming guitar solo really makes this into something great. Well crafted song.
I love the original version by Alejandro Escovedo and digging this cover.
