Salt Of The Earth
I wanna drink to the hard-working people
Let's drink to the lowly of birth
I wanna raise my glass to the good and the evil
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
Say a prayer for our hard fighting soldiers
Give some thought to their life-risking work
How about a prayer for their spouses and children?
They keep the home fires burning and still 'til the earth
When I search the faceless crowd
A swirling mass of gray, 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
I wanna make a toast to the wavering millions
We need leaders, but get gamblers instead
Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter
Whose empty eyes gaze at reality shows
And a stream of gray suited grafters
Give you a choice of cancer, HIV, or who knows?
When I look into the faceless crowd
A swirling mass of grays, black and white
They don't even look real to me
In fact, they look so strange
Raise your glass to the hard-working people (let's drink)
(Let's drink) let's drink to the salt of the Earth
(Let's toast) I wanna give a toast to the millions of people
Those who are born humble of birth
(Let's drink) let's drink to the hard-working people
(Let's think) let's think about the lowly of birth
(Let's spare) spare some kind of thought for all homeless people
Let's drink to the salt of the Earth
Let's drink to the lowly of birth
I wanna raise my glass to the good and the evil
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
Say a prayer for our hard fighting soldiers
Give some thought to their life-risking work
How about a prayer for their spouses and children?
They keep the home fires burning and still 'til the earth
When I search the faceless crowd
A swirling mass of gray, 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
I wanna make a toast to the wavering millions
We need leaders, but get gamblers instead
Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter
Whose empty eyes gaze at reality shows
And a stream of gray suited grafters
Give you a choice of cancer, HIV, or who knows?
When I look into the faceless crowd
A swirling mass of grays, black and white
They don't even look real to me
In fact, they look so strange
Raise your glass to the hard-working people (let's drink)
(Let's drink) let's drink to the salt of the Earth
(Let's toast) I wanna give a toast to the millions of people
Those who are born humble of birth
(Let's drink) let's drink to the hard-working people
(Let's think) let's think about the lowly of birth
(Let's spare) spare some kind of thought for all homeless people
Let's drink to the salt of the Earth
