The 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 Pray´r For the Common Foot Soldier,

Spare a Thought For His Back Breaking Work.

Say a Pray´r For His Wife and His Children

Who Burn the Fires and Who Still Till the Earth.

(Chorus)

And When I Search a Faceless Crowd,

A Swirling Mass of Grey and Black and White,

They Don´t Look Real to Me, in Fakt,

They Look So Strange.

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 Thougth For the Stay-at-home Voter,

His Emty Eyes Gaze At Strange Beauty Shows,

And At Parades of Gray Suited Grafters;

A Choice of Cancer Or Polio!

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 Hardworking People,

Let´s Drink to the Salt of the Earth.

Let´s Think of the Two Thousand Million,

Let´s Think of the Humble of Birth.
