[00:07:13] It takes a lot of men to make a gun,

[00:07:13] Hundreds,

[00:07:13] Many men to make a gun:

[00:07:13] Men in the mines

[00:07:13] To dig the iron

[00:07:13] Men in the mills

[00:07:13] To forge the steel,

[00:07:13] Men at machines

[00:07:13] To turn the barrel,

[00:07:13] Mold the trigger,

[00:07:13] Shape the wheel-

[00:07:13] It takes a lot of men to make a gun...

[00:07:13] One gun...

[00:07:13] And all you have to do

[00:07:13] Is move you little finger,

[00:07:13] Move your little finger and-

[00:07:13] You can change the world.

[00:07:13] Why should you be blue

[00:07:13] When you've you little finger?

[00:07:13] Prove how just a little finger

[00:07:13] Can change the world.

[00:07:13] I hate this gun...

[00:07:13] What a wonder is a gun!

[00:07:13] What a versatile invention!

[00:07:13] First of all, when you've a gun-

[00:07:13] Everybody pays attention.

[00:07:13] When you think what must be done,

[00:07:13] Think of all that it can do:

[00:07:13] Remove a scoundrel,

[00:07:13] Unite a party,

[00:07:13] Preserve the Union,

[00:07:13] Promote the sales of my book,

[00:07:13] Insure my future,

[00:07:13] My niche in history,

[00:07:13] And then the world will see

[00:07:13] That I am not a man to overlook!

[00:07:13] Ha-ha!

[00:07:13] And all you have to do

[00:07:13] Is squeeze your little finger.

[00:07:13] Ease your little finger back-

[00:07:13] You can change the world.

[00:07:13] Whatever else is true,

[00:07:13] You trust your little finger.

[00:07:13] Just a single little finger

[00:07:13] Can change the world.

[00:07:13] I got this really great gun-

[00:07:13] Shit, where is it?

[00:07:13] No, it's really great-

[00:07:13] Wait-

[00:07:13] Shit, where is it?

[00:07:13] Anyway

[00:07:13] It's just a .38-

[00:07:13] But-

[00:07:13] It's a gun.

[00:07:13] You can make a statement-

[00:07:13] Wrong-

[00:07:13] With a gun-

[00:07:13] Even if you fail.

[00:07:13] It tells 'em who you are

[00:07:13] Where you stand.

[00:07:13] This one was on sale.

[00:07:13] It- no not the shoe-

[00:07:13] Well, actually the shoe was, too.

[00:07:13] No, that's not it-

[00:07:13] Shit, I had it here-

[00:07:13] Got it!

[00:07:13] Yeah! There it is! And-

[00:07:13] All you have to do

[00:07:13] Is crook your little finger,

[00:07:13] Hook your little finger 'round-

[00:07:13] Shit, I shot it...

[00:07:13] - You can change the world.

[00:07:13] Simply follow through,

[00:07:13] And look, your little finger

[00:07:13] Can

[00:07:13] Slow them down

[00:07:13] To a crawl,

[00:07:13] Show them all,

[00:07:13] Big and small,

[00:07:13] It took a little finger

[00:07:13] No time

[00:07:13] To change the world.

[00:07:13] A gun kills many men before it's done,

[00:07:13] Hundreds,

[00:07:13] Long before you shoot the gun:

[00:07:13] Men in the mines

[00:07:13] And in the steel mills,

[00:07:13] Men at machines,

[00:07:13] Who died for what?

[00:07:13] Something to buy-

[00:07:13] A watch, a shoe, a gun,

[00:07:13] A thing to make the bosses richer,

[00:07:13] But a gun claims many men before it's done...

[00:07:13] Just

[00:07:13] One

[00:07:13] More..

[00:07:13] Czolgosz,

[00:07:13] Working man,

[00:07:13] Born in the middle of Michigan,

[00:07:13] Woke with a thought

[00:07:13] And away he ran

[00:07:13] To the Pan-American Exposition

[00:07:13] In Buffalo,

[00:07:13] In Buffalo.

[00:07:13] Saw of a sudden

[00:07:13] How things were run,

[00:07:13] Said, "Time's a-wasting

[00:07:13] It's nineteen-one.

[00:07:13] Some men have everything

[00:07:13] And some have none,

[00:07:13] So rise and shine-

[00:07:13] In the U.S.A.

[00:07:13] You can work your way

[00:07:13] To the head of the line!"

[00:07:13] Single line, ladies and gentlemen. Line forms here

[00:07:13] to meet the President of the United States. Single

[00:07:13] line to shake hands with President William McKinley.

[00:07:13] Czolgosz,

[00:07:13] Quiet man,

[00:07:13] Worked out a quiet

[00:07:13] And simple plan,

[00:07:13] Strolled of a morning

[00:07:13] All spick and span,

[00:07:13] To the Temple Of Music

[00:07:13] By the Tower Of Light

[00:07:13] At the Pan-American Exposition

[00:07:13] In Buffalo,

[00:07:13] In Buffalo.

[00:07:13] Saw Bill McKinley there

[00:07:13] In the sun.

[00:07:13] Heard Bill McKinley say,

[00:07:13] "Folks, have fun!

[00:07:13] Some men have everything

[00:07:13] And some have none,

[00:07:13] But that's just fine:

[00:07:13] in the U.S.A.

[00:07:13] You can work your way

[00:07:13] To the head of the line!"

[00:07:13] Big Bill-!

[00:07:13] -Gave 'em a thrill.

[00:07:13] Big Bill-!

[00:07:13] -Sold 'em a bill.

[00:07:13] Big Bill-!

[00:07:13] -Who'd want to kill

[00:07:13] A man of good will

[00:07:13] Like-?

[00:07:13] Big Bill!

[00:07:13] Doesn't the President look Marvelous?

[00:07:13] So round and prosperous!

[00:07:13] Do you know what his favorite dish is?

[00:07:13] It was in the paper. Beef.

[00:07:13] I'm told that in his spare time he enjoys

[00:07:13] collecting coins!

[00:07:13] Czolgosz,

[00:07:13] Angry man,

[00:07:13] Said, "I will do what

[00:07:13] A poor man can.

[00:07:13] Yes, and there's nowhere

[00:07:13] More fitting than

[00:07:13] In the Temple Of Music

[00:07:13] By the Tower Of Light

[00:07:13] Between the Fountain Of Abundance

[00:07:13] And the Court of Lilies

[00:07:13] At the great Pan-American Exposition

[00:07:13] In Buffalo,

[00:07:13] In Buffalo.

[00:07:13] Wrapped him a handkerchief

[00:07:13] "round his gun,

[00:07:13] Said, "Nothin' wrong about

[00:07:13] What I done.

[00:07:13] Some men have everything

[00:07:13] And some have none-

[00:07:13] That's by design.

[00:07:13] The idea wasn't mine alone,

[00:07:13] But mine,

[00:07:13] And that's the sign:

[00:07:13] In the U.S.A.

[00:07:13] You can have your say,

[00:07:13] You can set you goals

[00:07:13] And seize the day,

[00:07:13] You've been given the freedom

[00:07:13] To work your way

[00:07:13] To the head of the line-

[00:07:13] To the head of the line!"
