MUSIC: Life isn't just a Sunday
picnic, life isn't just a ball.

Life isn't just a bed of
roses, life isn't just at all.

But a man can speak
out for justice.

And make sure that his
voice has been heard.

Life isn't just.

In a man you can trust.

For a man is a man of his word.

A man can be kind and gentle.

And at times walk
away from a fight.

But he'll still be around when
the chips are all down to stand

up for whatever is right.

Yes, a man can be a man.

And a man must be a man.

[dogs barking]

MUSIC: Life isn't always
milk and honey or breathe

without a care.

Life isn't always
fair and sunny.

Life isn't always fair.

But a man can make
up the difference.

A man can even the score.

He can take every blow
that the world can throw.

And he'll keep comin'
up off the floor.

A man will do what
he has to to avenge

who he'll balance the scales.

Though it takes time
to do it, in the end

he'll come through
'cause he's stronger

each time that he fails!

Yes, a man can be a man!

And a man must be a man.

[slow music]

You, ah, you need a hand?

I, uh, I work real cheap.

You hungry?

They're havin' some
bread and cheese

and some home brew in there.

Help yourself.

[metal clanging]

[upbeat music]

[dog barking]

Howdy.
We come to collect the rent.

How many times do
I have to tell ya

I'm not payin' Mimmo's rent?

OK, have it your own way.

I'll not support
him or his horse.

[upbeat music]

[man screams]

[inaudible] Oh my god!

I'm all right.

Get 'em out of here.

Thank you.

My face!

My face!

[dog barking]

'Twasn't your fight.

I was drinkin' his beer.

You ain't plannin' on stayin'.

No sir, just... just
passin' through.

Make sure of it.

Those words, I'm just not
gonna listen anymore, I won't!

All right, all right.

Now, you go home
and start packin'.

I'll bring the wagon.

Thank you very much.

Yeah.

Those men, and this
Mimmo, they're no good.

They're evil.

You'd better get out of here.

Anything here you want, take it.

There's an old mule out back.

Ah, thanks.

[slow music]

[chickens clucking]

I was gonna dam that
water up on the north side.

Never did get to it.

Sing a song, do your dance.

Be a good little tin marshal.

But the piper's gotta
be paid for his tune.

Not just with money, either.

To hell with him.

I want ya here.

That's all you have
to worry about.

Why didn't ya hold him for me?

I've just about had
it with him, Billie.

I don't care if he
is your brother.

I don't care if
he goes with you.

As a matter of fact, I'm just
about ready to cut it off.

You slut, you.

MAN: Be a good

Piper's gotta be

THEME MUSIC: Life isn't
just a Sunday picnic.

Life isn't just a ball.

Life isn't just a bed of roses.

Life isn't just at all.

But a man can speak
out for justice.

And make sure that his
voice has been heard.

Life isn't just, in
a man you can trust,

for a man is a man of his word.

A man can be kind and gentle.

And at times walk
away from a fight.

But he'll still be around when
the chips are all down to stand

up for whatever is right.

Yes, a man can be a man.

And a man must be a man.

Life isn't always
milk and honey.

Free without a care.

Life isn't always
fair and sunny.

Life isn't always fair.

But a man can
always use judgment.

When nothing's all
black or all white.

He can find the right
way through the shades

of gray like the dawn
between darkness and light.

A man may be just a poet.

Or a man may just sing a song.

And a man may be meek,
may be feeble and weak,

but he's strong when
he's righting a wrong.

Yes, a man can be a man.

And a man must be a man.

Men are created free and equal.

But they're not equally
free. 'Cause some are

a lot more equal than others.

That wasn't meant to be.

But a man can make
up the difference.

A man can even the score.

Hey.

You killed everybody
but the camera man.

THEME MUSIC: Every blow
that the world can throw.

And he'll keep comin'
up off the floor.

[gunshot]

A man may be big as a mountain.

A man may be big as the sky.

Though he's big and he's bold,
he's not ruthless or cold.

'Cause a man's never
too big to cry.

Yes, a man can be a man.

And a man must be a man.

The world's not exactly
what you'd pray for,

what you'd like it to be.

[laughs]

Good things in life
you've got to pay for.

Freedom is seldom free.

But a man can be his own...

[laughs, shrieks]

And a man can stand
black as stone.

He can stand all alone.

He can face the unknown with the
strength to go on on his own.

A man can go into battle.

And without even batting...

Wrong!

[gunshots]

THEME MUSIC: He
can wade into hell

but you can't ever
tell that he's

really afraid that he'll die.

Yes, a man can be a man.

And a man must be a man.

I don't care for worldly riches.

I learn what I can.

I don't care if I
just dig ditches.

But let me be a man.
