In a dusty town a clock struck high noon Two men stood face to face One wore black and one wore white But of fear there wasn't a trace Two hundred years later two hot rods drag race Through the very same place And a half a million people Moved in to pick up the pace A factory full of people Makin' parts to go to outer space A train load of people They were aimin' for another place Out of town people There's a man in the window with a big cigar Says everything's for sale The house and the boat and the railroad car The owner's gotta go to jail He acquired these things from a life of crime Now he's selling them to raise his bail He was rippin' off the people Sellin' guns to the underground Tryin' to help the people Lose their ass for a piece of ground Rippin' off the people Skimmin' the top when there was no one around Tryin' to help the people He was dealing antiques in a hardware store But he sure had a lot to hide He had a backroom full of the guns of war And a ton of ammunition besides Well, he walked with a cane Kept a bolt on the door with five pit bulls inside Just a warning to the people Who might try to break in at night Protection from the people Selling safety in the darkest night Tryin' to help the people Get the drugs to the street all right Ordinary people Well, it's hard to say where a man goes wrong Might be here and it might be there What starts out weak might get too strong If you can't tell foul from fair But it's hard to judge from an angry throng Of hands stretched into the air The vigilante people Takin' law into their own hands Conscientious people Crackin' down on the druglord's land Government people Confiscatin' all the dealer's land Patch-of-ground people Down at the factory They're puttin' new windows in The vandals made a mess of things And the homeless just walked right in Well, they worked here once, and they live here now But they might work here again They're ordinary people And they're livin' in a nightmare Hard workin' people And they don't know how they got there Ordinary people And they think that you don't care Hard workin' people Down on the assembly line, they keep puttin' the same thing out But the people today, they just ain't buyin' Nobody can figure it out Well, they try like hell to build a quality end They're workin' hard without a doubt They're ordinary people And the dollar's what it's all about Hard workin' people But the customers are walkin' out Lee Iacocca people Yeah, they look but they just don't buy Hard workin' people Two out of work models and a fashion slave Try to dance away the Michelob night The bartender poured himself another drink While two drunks sat watchin' the fight The champ went down, then he got up again And then he went out like a light He was fightin' for the people But his timing wasn't right For Las Vegas people Who came to see a Las Vegas fight High rollin' people Takin' limos though the neon night Fightin' for the people And then a new Rolls Royce and a company car They went flyin' down the street Each one tryin' to make it to the gate Before employees manned the fleet The trucks full of products for the modern home Set to roll out into the street Of downtown people Tryin' to make their way to work Nose-to-the-stone people Some are saints and some are jerks Hard workin' people Stoppin' for a drink on the way to work Alcoholic people Yeah, they're takin' it one day, one day at a time Out on the railroad track, they're cleanin' up number 9 They're scrubbin' the boiler down Well, she really is lookin' fine Ah, she's lookin' so good They're gonna bring her back on line Ordinary people They're gonna bring the good things back Nose-to-the stone people Put the business back on track Ordinary people I got faith in the regular kind Hard workin' people Patch-of-ground people...
