Salt of the Earth |
| 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 turn the fires and who still till the earth |
| When I see these crowd of faces |
| A swirling mass of black and gray and white |
| They look so real to me |
| But they look so much |
| Raise your glass to the hard working people |
| Let’s drink to the uncounted heads |
| Let’s think of the wavering millions |
| Who need leaders but get gamblers instead |
| Spare a thought for the stay at home voter |
| His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows |
| See the parading of gray suited grafters |
| The world is charming and they don’t want to know |
| And when I see these crowd of faces |
| A swirling mass of gray and black and white |
| They look so real to me |
| And they look so much |
| 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 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 people |
| Let’s drink to the salt of the earth |
| Let’s drink to the people |
| Let’s drink to the salt of the earth |
| Let’s drink to the people |
| Let’s drink to the salt of the earth |
| Let’s drink to the people |
| Let’s drink to the salt of the earth |
