Salt Of The Earth [Rock and Roll Circus]

[Verse 1: Keith Richards]
Let's drink to the hard working people
Let's think ofthe lowly of birth
Raise your glass to the good and the evil
Let's drink to the salt of the earth

[Verse 2: Mick Jagger]
Say a prayer for the common foot soldier
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

[Bridge: Mick]
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

[Verse 3: Mick and Keith]
Raise your glass to the hardworking people
Let's drink to the uncounted heads
Let's think of the wavering millions
Who need leading but get gamblers instead

[Verse 4: Mick and Keith]
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

[Bridge: Mick]
When I look into this faceless crowd
A swirling mass of gray and black and white
Do we all look real to you
Oh, don't they look so strange?

[Verse 5: All]
Let's drink to the hardworking 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

[Verse 6: All]
Let's drink to the hardworking 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

[Outro: Choir]
Let's take a drink to the salt of the earth
Let's take a drink to the salt of the earth
Let's take a drink to the salt of the earth
Let's take a drink to the salt of the earth
Let's take a drink to the salt of the earth
Let's take a drink to the salt of the earth
Let's take a drink to the salt of the earth
Let's take a drink to the salt of the earth
