Let's drink to the h ard working p eople
Let's drink to the l owly of b irth
Raise your glass to the g ood and the e vil
Let's drink to the s alt of the e arth
Say a prayer for the c ommon foot s oldier
Spare a thought for his b ack breaking w ork
Say a prayer for his w ife and his c hildren

Who burn the fires and who s till till the e art h
And when I search a faceless crowd
A swirling mass of gray and black and white
They don't look real to me
In fact, they look so strange
Raise your glass to the h ard working p eople
Let's drink to the u ncounted h eads
Let's think of the w avering m illions
Who need leaders but get g amblers inst ead
Spare a thought for the s tay-at-home v oter
His empty eyes gaze at s trange beauty s hows
And a parade of the g ray suited g rafters
A choice of cancer or p olio

And when I look in the faceless crowd
A swirling mass of grays and black and white
They don't look real to me
Or don't they look so strange
Let's drink to the hard w orking p eople
Let's think of the l owly of b irth
Spare a thought for the r ag taggy p eople
Let's drink to the s alt of the e arth
Let's drink to the h ard working p eople
Let's drink to the s alt of the e arth
Let's drink to the t wo thousand m illion
Let's think of the h umble of birth
