The Rolling Stones - Salt Of The Earth (Official Lyric Video)

Let It Bleed (50th Anniversary Edition) is out now: “Salt Of The Earth“ by The Rolling Stones Composers: Mick Jagger and Keith Richards Lyrics: Let’s drink to the hard working people Let’s drink to the lowly 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 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 hard working people Let’s drink to the uncounted heads Let’s think of the wavering millions Who need leading but get gamblers instead Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter Empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows And parades of the gray suited grafters A choice of cancer or polio 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 working people Let’s drink to the lowly of birth Spare a thought for the rag taggy 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 drink to the two thousand million Let’s think of the humble of birth “Salt Of The Earth (Official Lyric Video)” Directed by: Lucy Dawkins and Tom Readdy at Yes Please Productions Producers: Julian Klein, Robin Klein (C) 2018 ABKCO Music & Records, Inc. #TheRollingStones #SaltOfTheEarth #BeggarsBanquet Music video by The Rolling Stones performing “Salt Of The Earth“.
