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 turn the fires and who still till the earth
|
|
When I see these crowd of faces
|
A swirling mass of black and gray and white
|
They look so real to me
|
But they look so much [Incomprehensible]
|
|
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 gray suited grafters
|
The world is charming and they don't want to know
|
|
And when I see these crowd of faces
|
A swirling mass of gray and black and white
|
They look so real to me
|
And they look so much [Incomprehensible]
|
|
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 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 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
|
