Guns N' Roses - Salt of the Earth lyrics

[Chorus 1] Lets drink to the hard working people Lets drink to the lowly of birth Raise your gla** to the good and the evil Lets drink to the salt of the earth [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 2] And when I search a faceless crowd A swirling ma** of gray and black and white They don't look real to me In fact, they look so strange [Verse 2] Raise your gla** to the hard working people Lets drink to the uncounted heads Lets think of the wandering 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 [Chorus 2] And when I search a faceless crowd A swirling ma** of gray and black and white They don't look real to me In fact, they look so strange [Chorus 1] Lets drink to the hard working people Lets think of the lowly of birth Spare a thought for the rag taggy people Sets drink to the salt of the earth [Chorus 1] Lets drink to the hard working people Lets drink to the salt of the earth Lets think of the two thousand million Lets think of the humble of birth
