Two out of work models and a fashion slave[00:00:30]
Try to dance away the Piccolo night[00:00:33]
The bartender poured herself another drink[00:00:37]
While two drunks were watchin' the fight[00:00:41]
The champ went down and he got up again[00:00:45]
Then he went out like a light[00:00:48]
Fightin' for the people[00:00:52]
But his timing wasn't right[00:00:56]
The high rollin' people[00:00:59]
Takin' limos in the neon light[00:01:04]
The Las Vegas people[00:01:07]
They came to see a Las Vegas fight[00:01:12]
Fightin' for the people[00:01:15]
There's a man in the window with a big cigar[00:01:59]
Says everything's for sale[00:02:02]
He had a house and a boat and a railroad car[00:02:06]
The owner's gotta go to jail[00:02:09]
He acquired these things from a life of crime[00:02:13]
Now he's sellin' them to make bail[00:02:17]
He was rippin' off the people[00:02:21]
Sellin' guns to the underground[00:02:25]
Livin' off the people[00:02:28]
Skimmin' the top when there was no one around[00:02:32]
Tryin' to help the people[00:02:36]
Lose their a** for a piece of ground[00:02:40]
A patch o' ground people[00:02:43]
He was dealin' antiques in a hardware store[00:03:27]
But he sure had a lot to hide[00:03:30]
He had a back room full of the guns of war[00:03:34]
And a ton ammunition besides[00:03:38]
Yeah, he walked with a cane[00:03:41]
Kept a bolt on the door with five pit bulls inside[00:03:43]
Just a warnin' to the people[00:03:48]
In case they might try to break in at night[00:03:53]
Protection from the people[00:03:56]
He's sellin' safety in the darkest night[00:04:01]
Tryin' to help the people[00:04:03]
Get the drugs to the street all right[00:04:08]
Tryin' to help the people[00:04:11]
Well, it's hard to say where a man goes wrong[00:04:56]
Might be here and it might be there[00:04:58]
What starts out weak might get too strong[00:05:02]
If you can't tell foul from fair[00:05:05]
But it's hard to judge from an angry throng[00:05:08]
Of hands stretched up in the air[00:05:13]
Vigilante people[00:05:16]
Takin' the law into their own hands[00:05:18]
The conscientious people[00:05:23]
Crackin' down on the drug lord and his bands[00:05:27]
Government people[00:05:31]
Confiscatin' all the dealer's land[00:05:35]
The patch o' ground people[00:05:38]
A new Rolls Royce, a company car[00:06:52]
They were racin' down the street[00:06:55]
Each one was tryin' to make it to the gate[00:06:59]
Before employees manned the fleet[00:07:02]
The trucks full of products for the modern home[00:07:05]
Were set to roll out into the street of ordinary people[00:07:09]
Tryin' to make their way to work[00:07:13]
The downtown people[00:07:20]
Some are saints and some are jerks[00:07:24]
That's me, everyday people[00:07:27]
Stoppin' for a drink on their way to work[00:07:29]
Alcoholic people, takin' it one day at a time[00:07:35]
Down on the assembly line[00:09:19]
They keep puttin' the same things out[00:09:20]
The people today, they just ain't buyin'[00:09:24]
Nobody can figure it out[00:09:29]
They try like hell to build a quality in[00:09:31]
They're workin' hard without a doubt[00:09:35]
Ordinary people[00:09:38]
But the dollar's what it's all about[00:09:42]
Lee Iaccoca people[00:09:45]
But the customers are walkin' out[00:09:49]
The nose to the stone people[00:09:52]
Yeah, they look but they just don't buy[00:09:57]
The patch o' ground people[00:10:00]
In a dusty town the clock struck high noon[00:10:59]
Two men stood face to face[00:11:00]
One wore black and one wore white[00:11:04]
But of fear there wasn't a trace[00:11:08]
A hundred and eighty years later[00:11:11]
Two hot rods drag through the very same place[00:11:14]
A half million people[00:11:18]
They moved in to pick up the pace[00:11:22]
A factory full of people[00:11:26]
Makin' parts to go to outer space[00:11:30]
A train load of people[00:11:33]
They were leavin' for another place[00:11:38]
Out of town people[00:11:41]
Down at the factory they're puttin' new windows in[00:12:26]
The vandals made a mess of things[00:12:30]
And the homeless just walked right in[00:12:35]
Well, they worked here once and they live here now[00:12:38]
But they might work here again[00:12:41]
The ordinary people[00:12:45]
They're just livin' in a dream[00:12:49]
Hard workin' people[00:12:52]
Just don't know what it means[00:12:56]
To give up people[00:13:00]
They're just like they used to be[00:13:04]
Patch o' ground people[00:13:07]
Out on the railroad track they're cleanin' ol' number nine[00:14:34]
They're scrubbin' the boiler down[00:14:41]
She really is lookin' fine, a beauty, that number nine[00:14:44]
Times'll be different soon they're gonna bring her back on line[00:14:48]
Ordinary people[00:14:54]
They're gonna bring the good things back[00:14:58]
Hard workin' people[00:15:01]
They put the business back on track[00:15:06]
The everyday people[00:15:09]
I got faith in the regular kind[00:15:13]
Patch o' ground people[00:15:16]
