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 work |
|
Say a prayer for his wife and his children |
|
Who burn the fires and who still till the earth |
|
And when I search a faceless crowd |
|
A swirling mass of gray and |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
And a parade of the gray suited grafters |
|
A choice of cancer or polio |
|
And when I look in the faceless crowd |
|
A swirling mass of grays and |
|
Black and white |
|
They don't look real to me |
|
Or don't they look so strange |
|
Let's drink to the hard working people |
|
Let's think of the lowly of birth |
|
Spare a thought for the rag taggy people |
|
Let's drink to the salt of the earth |
|
Let's drink to the hard working people |
|
Let's drink to the salt of the earth |
|
Let's drink to the two thousand million |
|
Let's think of the humble of birth |
