Said the fight to make ends meet
Keeps a man upon his feet
Holding down his job
Trying to show he can’t be bought
Ooh, it takes every kind of people
To make what life’s about, yeah
Every kind of people
To make the world go 'round
Someone’s looking for a lead
In his duty to a King or creed
Protecting what he feels is right
Fights against wrong with his life
There’s no profit in deceit
Honest men know that
Revenge do not taste sweet
Whether yellow, black or white
Each and every man’s the same inside
It takes every kind of people
To make what life’s about, yeah
Every kind of people
To make the world go 'round
You know that love’s the only goal
That could bring a peace to any soul
Hey, and every man’s the same
He wants the sunshine in his name
Ooh, it takes every kind of people…
Think we need to thank Andy Fraser (Free) for writing such an amazing tune. The original version is sooooo much better than this one! IMHO. RIP RP and AF.
He could write great songs, sing with feeling,was great at spotting other people’s songs and put his own indelible stamp of quality to it. He was the complete package as an artist. What a shame he’s no longer with us casting his spell. Rest In Peace Robert.
