Loading...

[verse 1: keith richards]
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

[verse 2: mick jagger]
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

[bridge: mick]
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

[verse 3: mick and keith]
raise your glass to the hardworking people
let’s drink to the uncountеd heads
let’s think of the wavеring millions
who need leading but get gamblers instead

[verse 4: mick and keith]
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
[bridge: mick]
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?

[verse 5: watts street gospel choir]
let’s drink to the hardworking 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

[verse 6: all]
let’s drink to the hardworking 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

[outro: choir]
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
