Silly Sally & The Lowlife Parade

Silly Sally’s on the corner, yeah, she’s watching the show Watching all the "righteous" men with nowhere to go There goes the leader, yeah, his collar’s a choke He’s a pillar of the town but his virtue’s a smoke! He’s a back-alley schemer, a certified bore Always looking for a favor then he’s out of the door He’s a sweaty-palmed loser with a wandering eye Chasing after shadows ‘neath the midnight sky! And at night! In the neon-lit grime They’re trading their secrets One nickel at a time! They whisper "Sally, Sally" Like a desperate prayer But Sally’s got the keys And she just doesn’t care! Rise up, Sally, fly! Sally, watch ‘em crawl! You’re the queen of the canyon While they’re hitting the wall! They’re trapped in the basement Of their own dirty lies While Sally’s got the starlight In her laughing eyes! See ‘em one by one, yeah, the "lords" of the town In their shiny black suits and their hypocrite frown From the judge to the lawyer to the local big shot They’re all fumbling in the dark for whatever you’ve got! Running like cowards, yeah, they’re messy and crude But they’ll look you in the eye and pretend they’re not rude They’re pathetic, they’re hollow, they’re a stain on the floor And Sally’s seen it all, yeah, she knows the whole score! But wait! Hear the shout? Hear the slamming of the door? The families are rising and they won’t take it no more! "Get out of the house! You’re finished! You’re done!" The wives are taking over and they’re having all the fun! Throwing suitcases out, throwing pride in the trash Watch the "mighty" little men make a desperate dash! They’re homeless, they’re broke, and they’re losing their hair While Sally’s in the VIP, just reclining in her chair! Rise up, Sally, fly! Sally, watch ‘em crawl! You’re the queen of the canyon While they’re hitting the wall! Who’s laughing now? The joke’s on the crew! Sally’s living large and she’s doing just fine! A long life, a bright life, far away from the fray Silly Sally is the winner at the end of the day!
