Salt of the earth doesn't mean shit It's just spoon fed to those who only choose to listen Like a case carved into a hand That's salt of the earth, salt of the land It doesn't mean shit, salt of the earth doesn't mean shit Personal outrage, media's spit Attributed to class and some trustworthy self image Trope of a farmer - a lawyer - the pope Spinning malleable morality - purity - hope Minds are scarred but it doesn't show Masculinity swells, but who could've known? Last chance at immortality That's salt of the earth salt of the land
