Of all the women in the western world

I like to sing about the working girl

The waitress, dancer and the clerk

All the wives and the mothers and the lovers that hurt

For whatever this is worth

But these people are down to earth

We′ve always been lost since their lonely birth

They're down to earth, they′re down to earth

Down to earth, down to earth, down to earth

And to all the guys on the street tonight

I hope you live to see the morning light

All the cops, the robbers and truckers too

To all the cruisers and the bruisers, this all goes out to you

For whatever this is worth

But these people are down to earth

We've always been lost since their lonely birth

They're down to earth, they′re down to earth

Down to earth, down to earth, down to earth

And stranded in the schools

The future prophets, the future fools

Well, we all make plans to change this world

But this world′s gonna change us too

Oh, yeah

So try to find the time to live before you die

Yes, the truth has more beauty than a lie

Grumpy life's a mystery that I will never understand

I simply take my pledge in the master plan

For whatever this is worth

But we gotta get down to earth

We′ve always been alone since our lonely birth

Get down to earth, get down to earth

Down to earth, down to earth, down to earth

For whatever this is worth

But these people are down to earth

We've always been lost since their lonely birth

They′re down to earth, they're down to earth

Yeah, for whatever this is worth

We gotta get down to earth

We′ve always been alone since our lonely birth

Get down to earth, get down to earth

Down to earth, down to earth, down to earth

Get down to earth, get down to earth

Down to earth, down to earth, down to earth

Get down to earth, get down to earth

Down to earth, down to earth, down to earth

Ay!
