Let's drink to the hard working people
Let's drink to the lonely 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
ย
When I search a faceless crowd
A swirling mass of grays and black and white
They don't look real to me
In fact they look so fake
Raise a 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 gambles instead
Spare a thought for the stay at home brokers
Empty eyes gaze at train TV shows
And parades of praise to the grafters
Who show us the cancer of polio
When I look into that faceless crowd
A swirling mass of grays and black and white
They don't look real to me
Oh don't they look so fake
ย
Let's drink to the hard working people
Let's drink to the lonely of birth
Let's think of the black and the 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 think of the two thousand million
Let's think of the hard working earth
