lets drink to the hard working people
lets drink to the lowly of birth
raise your glass to the good and the evil
lets drink to the salt of the earth
(mick sings the rest)
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
and when i search a faceless crowd
a swirling mass of gray and
black and white
they don't look real to me
A (B7)
raise your glass to the hard working people
lets drink to the uncounted heads
