Salt Of The Earth
Lyricist:Mick Jagger, Keith Richards
Let's drink to the hard working people Let's think of 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 Spare a thought for his wife and his children Who burn the fires and who still till the earth
When I look into this faceless crowd A swirling mass of gray, blue, black and white They don't look real to me In fact, we all 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 His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And a parades of gray suited grafters A choice of cancer or polio
And when I look into this faceless crowd A swirling mass of gray and black and white Do we all look real to you Or do we look too 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 think of the two thousand million Let's think of the humble of birth
Let's raise our drink to the salt of the earth Let's raise our drink to the salt of the earth Let's raise our drink to the salt of the earth ...
