The 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 burn the fires and who still till the earth |
| And 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 leaders but get gamblers instead |
| Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter |
| His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows |
| And a parade of the gray suited grafters |
| A choice of cancer or polio |
| And when I look in the faceless crowd |
| A swirling mass of grays and |
| Black and white |
| They don’t look real to me Or 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 |
