[00:45.02]In a dusty town
[00:46.79]a clock struck high noon,
[00:48.74]Two men stood face to face.
[00:52.57]One wore black and one wore white,
[00:56.12]But of fear there wasn't a trace.
[01:00.02]Two hundred years later
[01:01.92]two hot rods drag race
[01:03.77]in the very same place,
[01:06.87]And a half a million people,
[01:10.85]moved in to pick up the pace.
[01:14.00]A factory full of people,
[01:18.48]Makin' parts to go to outer space.
[01:21.53]A train load of people,
[01:25.75]They were aimin' for another place.
[01:28.90]Out of town people.
[01:40.71]There's a man in the window with a big cigar,
[01:44.87]Says everything's for sale.
[01:48.16]The house and the boat and the railroad car
[01:51.96]The owner's gotta go to jail.
[01:55.53]He acquired these things from a life of crime,
[01:59.50]Now he's selling them to raise his bail
[02:02.30]He was rippin' off the people.
[02:06.35]Sellin' guns to the underground.
[02:09.69]Livin' off the people
[02:13.90]Skimmin' the top when there was no one around
[02:17.14]Tryin' to help the people,
[02:21.31]Lose their ass for a piece of ground.
[02:24.82]Patch-of-ground people.
[02:36.73]He was dealing antiques
[02:37.99]in a hardware store,
[02:40.13]But he sure had a lot to hide.
[02:43.79]He had a backroom full
[02:45.44]of the guns of war,
[02:47.75]And a ton of ammunition besides.
[02:51.16]Well, he walked with a cane,
[02:53.14]Kept a bolt on the door
[02:54.59]with five pit bulls inside.
[02:57.95]Just a warning to the people,
[03:02.19]Who might try to break in at night.
[03:05.35]Protection from the people,
[03:09.56]Selling safety
[03:10.44]in the darkest night.
[03:12.98]Tryin' to help the people.
[03:17.10]Get the drugs
[03:17.74]to the street all right.
[03:20.35]Ordinary people.
[04:16.19]Well, it's hard to say
[04:18.11]where a man goes wrong,
[04:20.42]Might be here
[04:20.91]and it might be there.
[04:23.63]What starts out weak
[04:25.46]might get too strong,
[04:27.27]If you can't tell foul from fair.
[04:31.01]But it's hard to judge
[04:32.86]from an angry throng,
[04:34.98]Of hands stretched into the air.
[04:37.68]The vigilante people.
[04:42.03]Takin' law into their own hands.
[04:45.14]Conscientious people.
[04:49.31]Crackin' down on
[04:50.60]the druglord's land.
[04:52.62]Government people.
[04:56.77]Confiscatin' all
[04:57.75]the dealer's land.
[04:59.77]Patch-of-ground people.
[05:12.53]Down at the factory,
[05:15.13]they're puttin' new windows in.
[05:19.40]The vandals made a mess of things,
[05:22.67]And the homeless
[05:23.71]just walked right in.
[05:26.58]Well, they worked here once,
[05:28.31]and they live here now,
[05:30.07]But they might work here again,
[05:33.08]everyday people.
[05:37.38]And they're livin' in a nightmare.
[05:40.71]The nose to the stone people
[05:45.16]And they don't know
[05:45.97]how they got there.
[05:47.95]Hard workin' people.
[05:52.16]And they don't think that you care.
[05:55.47]Patch-of-ground people.
[06:08.09]Down on the assembly line,
[06:10.48]they keep puttin'the same thing out
[06:14.69]But the people today,
[06:16.38]they just ain't buyin'.
[06:18.14]Nobody can figure it out.
[06:21.84]Well, they try like hell
[06:23.20]to build a quality end,
[06:25.49]They're workin' hard without a doubt,
[06:28.30]They're ordinary people.
[06:32.51]But the customers are walkin' out.
[06:35.65]Hard workin' people.
[06:39.71]And the dollar's
[06:41.02]what it's all about.
[06:42.97]Lee Iacocca people.
[06:47.02]Yeah, they look but they just don't buy.
[06:50.32]Patch-of-ground people.
[08:01.54]Two out of work models and a fashion slave,
[08:05.25]Try to dance away the Michelob night.
[08:08.87]The bartender poured
[08:10.96]himself another drink,
[08:12.57]While two drunks sat
[08:14.11]watchin' the fight.
[08:16.31]The champ went down,
[08:18.26]then he got up again,
[08:20.06]And then he went out like a light.
[08:23.14]He was fightin' for the people,
[08:27.39]But his timing wasn't right.
[08:30.44]For Las Vegas people,
[08:34.71]Who came to see a Las Vegas fight.
[08:37.91]High rollin' people,
[08:42.15]Takin' limos
[08:43.15]though the neon night.
[08:45.26]Fightin' for the people.
[08:57.78]A new Rolls Royce, a company car
[09:00.42]They were flying down the street
[09:04.19]Each one was tryin' to make it to the gate
[09:08.00]Before employees manned the fleet
[09:12.01]The trucks full of products for the modern home
[09:15.26]Were set to roll out into the street of downtown people
[09:22.56]Tryin' to make their way to work
[09:25.93]Everyday people
[09:30.13]Some are saints and some are jerks
[09:33.28]hard working people
[09:37.49]Stoppin' for a drink on their way to work
[09:40.75]Alcoholic people,
[09:45.06]takin' it one day at a time
[10:37.32]down on the railroad track,
[10:40.08]they're cleanin' up number 9.
[10:44.43]They're scrubbin' the boiler down,
[10:47.38]well, she really is lookin' fine.
[10:52.14]they seem so different
[10:54.39]they're gonna bring her back on line.
[10:57.85]Ordinary people.
[11:02.00]They're gonna bring the good things back.
[11:05.34]Hard working people
[11:09.50]Put the business back on track.
[11:12.46]Nose-to-the stone people.
[11:16.77]I got faith in the regular kind.
[11:19.82]Patch-of-ground people.
