Salt of the Earth Lyrics - The Rolling Stones

1 Let's drink to the hard working people

2 Let's drink to the lowly of birth

3 Raise your glass to the good and the evil

4 Let's drink to the salt of the earth

5 Say a prayer for the common foot soldier

6 Spare a thought for his back breaking work

7 Say a prayer for his wife and his children

8 Who burn the fires and who still till the earth

9 And when I search a faceless crowd

10 A swirling mass of gray and black and white

11 They don't look real to me

12 In fact, they look so strange

13 Raise your glass to the hard working people

14 Let's drink to the uncounted heads

15 Let's think of the wavering millions

16 Who need leaders but get gamblers instead

17 Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter

18 His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows

19 And a parade of the gray suited grafters

20 A choice of cancer or polio

21 And when I look in the faceless crowd

22 A swirling mass of grays and black and white

23 They don't look real to me

24 Or don't they look so strange

25 Let's drink to the hard working people

26 Let's think of the lowly of birth

27 Spare a thought for the rag taggy people

28 Let's drink to the salt of the earth

29 Let's drink to the hard working people

30 Let's drink to the salt of the earth

31 Let's drink to the two thousand million

32 Let's think of the humble of birth

33 Let's raise our drink

34 To the salt of the earth

35 Let's raise our drink

36 To the salt of the earth...
