[00:30.35]Two out of work models and a fashion slave
[00:33.89]Try to dance away the Michelob night
[00:37.71]The bartender poured herself another drink
[00:41.38]While two drunks were watchin' the fight
[00:45.19]The champ went down and he got up again
[00:48.91]Then he went out like a light
[00:51.98]Fightin' for the people
[00:56.44]But his timing wasn't right
[00:59.87]The high rollin' people
[01:04.14]Takin' limos in the neon light
[01:07.62]The Las Vegas people
[01:11.90]They came to see a Las Vegas fight
[01:15.17]Fightin' for the people
[01:57.94]There's a man in the window with a big cigar
[02:01.91]Says everything's for sale
[02:05.60]He had a house and a boat and a railroad car
[02:09.53]The owner's gotta go to jail
[02:13.00]He acquired these things from a life of crime
[02:16.63]Now he's sellin' them to make bail
[02:19.92]He was rippin' off the people
[02:24.24]Sellin' guns to the underground
[02:27.35]Livin' off the people
[02:31.63]Skimmin' the top when there was no one around
[02:35.15]Tryin' to help the people
[02:39.55]Lose their ass for a piece of ground
[02:42.93]A patch o' ground people
[03:26.26]He was dealin' antiques in a hardware store
[03:30.03]But he sure had a lot to hide
[03:33.65]He had a back room full of the guns of war
[03:37.47]And a ton ammunition besides
[03:41.22]Yeah, he walked with a cane
[03:43.18]Kept a bolt on the door with five pit bulls inside
[03:48.01]Just a warnin' to the people
[03:52.52]In case they might try to break in at night
[03:55.78]Protection from the people
[04:00.13]He's sellin' safety in the darkest night
[04:03.37]Tryin' to help the people
[04:07.86]Get the drugs to the street all right
[04:10.93]Tryin' to help the people
[04:53.45]Well, it's hard to say where a man goes wrong
[04:57.03]Might be here and it might be there
[05:00.57]What starts out weak might get too strong
[05:04.39]If you can't tell foul from fair
[05:08.05]But it's hard to judge from an angry throng
[05:11.95]Of hands stretched up in the air
[05:15.13]Vigilante people
[05:19.35]Takin' the law into their own hands
[05:22.64]The conscientious people
[05:26.87]Crackin' down on the drug lord and his bands
[05:30.16]Government people
[05:34.71]Confiscatin' all the dealer's land
[05:37.80]The patch o' ground people
[06:49.34]A new Rolls Royce, a company car
[06:52.79]They were racin' down the street
[06:57.35]Each one was tryin' to make it to the gate
[07:00.75]Before employees manned the fleet
[07:04.56]The trucks full of products for the modern home
[07:07.90]Were set to roll out into the street
[07:10.90]of ordinary people
[07:15.42]Tryin' to make their way to work
[07:18.65]The downtown people
[07:22.92]Some are saints and some are jerks
[07:25.56]That's me,
[07:26.17]everyday people
[07:30.05]Stoppin' for a drink on their way to work
[07:33.58]Alcoholic people,
[07:40.22]takin' it one day at a time
[09:15.01]Down on the assembly line
[09:17.39]They keep puttin' the same things out
[09:22.29]The people today, they just ain't buyin'
[09:25.16]Nobody can figure it out
[09:28.95]They try like hell to build a quality in
[09:32.26]They're workin' hard without a doubt
[09:35.35]Ordinary people
[09:39.57]But the dollar's what it's all about
[09:42.73]Lee Iaccoca people
[09:47.27]But the customers are walkin' out
[09:50.11]The nose to the stone people
[09:54.66]Yeah, they look but they just don't buy
[09:57.70]The patch o' ground people
[10:54.18]In a dusty town the clock struck high noon
[10:57.78]Two men stood face to face
[11:01.54]One wore black and one wore white
[11:05.20]But of fear there wasn't a trace
[11:09.00]A hundred and eighty years later
[11:10.76]Two hot rods drag through the very same place
[11:15.77]A half million people
[11:20.07]They moved in to pick up the pace
[11:23.25]A factory full of people
[11:27.64]Makin' parts to go to outer space
[11:30.73]A train load of people
[11:35.04]They were leavin' for another place
[11:38.10]Out of town people
[12:20.51]Down at the factory they're puttin' new windows in
[12:28.16]The vandals made a mess of things
[12:30.65]And the homeless just walked right in
[12:34.24]Well, they worked here once and they live here now
[12:37.83]But they might work here again
[12:41.10]The ordinary people
[12:45.32]They're just livin' in a dream
[12:48.59]Hard workin' people
[12:52.92]Just don't know what it means
[12:55.86]To give up people
[13:00.21]They're just like they used to be
[13:03.26]Patch o' ground people
[14:29.40]Out on the railroad track they're cleanin' ol' number nine
[14:36.87]They're scrubbin' the boiler down
[14:39.50]She really is lookin' fine, a beauty, that number nine
[14:44.24]Times'll be different soon they're gonna bring her back on line
[14:49.68]Ordinary people
[14:53.87]They're gonna bring the good things back
[14:57.12]Hard workin' people
[15:01.45]They put the business back on track
[15:04.47]The everyday people
[15:08.68]I got faith in the regular kind
[15:11.90]Patch o' ground people
