Salt of the Earth (Live)

Salt Of The Earth (Live) - The Rolling Stones (滾石樂隊)

Written by：Keith Richards/Mick Jagger

Let's drink to the hard working people

Let's drink

Of 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 his wife and his children

Spare a thought for his back breaking work

Spare a thought for his wife and his children

Who burn the fires and who still till the earth

And when I look into this faceless crowd

A swirling mass

Of gray

Blue black and white

They don't look real to me

In fact they look so strange

Yeah

Raise your glass to the hard working people

Let's drink to the uncounted heads

Let's think of the wavering millions

Who need leading 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 into this faceless crowd

A swirling mass of gray

Blue black and white

They don't look real to me

Or don't they look so strange

Yeah

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
