Down to Earth

Of all the women in the western world
I like to sing about the working girl
The waitress, dancer and the clerk
All the wives and the mothers and the lovers that hurt

For whatever this is worth
But these people are down to earth
We've always been lost since their lonely birth
They're down to earth, they're down to earth
Down to earth, down to earth, down to earth

And to all the guys on the street tonight
I hope you live to see the morning light
All the cops, the robbers and truckers too
To all the cruisers and the bruisers, this all goes out to you

For whatever this is worth
But these people are down to earth
We've always been lost since their lonely birth
They're down to earth, they're down to earth
Down to earth, down to earth, down to earth

And stranded in the schools
The future prophets, the future fools
Well, we all make plans to change this world
But this world's gonna change us too
Oh, yeah

So try to find the time to live before you die
Yes, the truth has more beauty than a lie
Grumpy life's a mystery that I will never understand
I simply take my pledge in the master plan

For whatever this is worth
But we gotta get down to earth
We've always been alone since our lonely birth
Get down to earth, get down to earth
Down to earth, down to earth, down to earth

For whatever this is worth
But these people are down to earth
We've always been lost since their lonely birth
They're down to earth, they're down to earth

Yeah, for whatever this is worth
We gotta get down to earth
We've always been alone since our lonely birth
Get down to earth, get down to earth
Down to earth, down to earth, down to earth

Get down to earth, get down to earth
Down to earth, down to earth, down to earth
Get down to earth, get down to earth
Down to earth, down to earth, down to earth
Ay!
