Letras de Salt of the Earth

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
Say a prayer for the common foot soldier
Spare a thought for his back breaking nerve
Say a prayer for his wife and his children
Who tend the fires and who still till the earth

When I see this crowd of faces
A swirling mass of black and grey and white
They look so real to me
But they look so much in pain

Raise your glass 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
Spare a thought for the stay at home voter
His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows
See the parading of grey suited grafters
The world is starving and they don′t want to know

And when I see this crowd of faces
A swirling mass of grey and black and white
They look so real to me
And they look so much in pain

Let′s drink to the hard working people
Let's think of the lowly of birth
Spare a thought for the ragtaggy people
Let′s drink to the salt of the earth

Let's drink to the hard working people
Let′s think of the lowly of birth
Spare a thought for the ragtaggy people
Let's drink to the salt of the earth

Let′s drink to the people
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
Let's drink to the people
Let′s drink to the salt of the earth
Let′s drink to the people
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
Let′s drink to the people
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
