the rolling stones - salt of the earth lyrics

Loading...

[chorus 1 — keith richards]
let’s drink to the hard working people
let’s drink to the lowly of birth
raise your gl-ss to the good and the evil
let’s drink to the salt of the earth

[verse 1]
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

[chorus 2]
and when i search a faceless crowd
a swirling m-ss of gray and
black and white
they don’t look real to me
in fact, they look so strange

[chorus 1]
raise your gl-ss 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

[verse 2]
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

[chorus 2]
and when i look in the faceless crowd
a swirling m-ss of grays and
black and white
they don’t look real to me
or don’t they look so strange

[chorus 1]
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

[chorus 1]
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
