Salt Of The Earth Lyrics - Artist : Rolling Stones, The
Let's drink to the hard-working people
Let's drink to the lowly of birth Raise your glass to the good and the evil Let's drink to the salt of the earth Say a prayer for the common-foot soldier Spare a thought for his back-breaking work Say a prayer for his wife and his children Who burn the fires and who still till the earth When I search a faceless crowd A swirling mass of gray and black and white They don't look real to me In fact, they look so strange Raise your glass to the hard-working people Let's drink to the uncounted heads Let's think of the wavering millions Who need leading but get gamblers instead Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter Empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows And a parade of the gray-suited grafters A choice of cancer or polio When I look in the faceless crowd A swirling mass of grays and black and white They don't look real to me Oh don't they look so strange? Let's drink to the hard-working people Let's think of the lowly of birth Spare a thought for the rag taggy people Let's drink to the salt of the earth Let's drink to the hard-working people Let's drink to the salt of the earth Let's drink to the two thousand million Let's think of the humble of birth Let's take a drink to the salt of the earth Let's take a drink to the salt of the earth Let's take a drink to the salt of the earth Let's take a drink to the salt of the earth Let's take a drink to the salt of the earth Let's take a drink to the salt of the earth Let's take a drink to the salt of the earth Let's take a drink to the salt of the earth |
