2021-02-12. Every Kind of People.
I’ve always liked this song sung by Robert Palmer however these days its seems so poignant and relevant
since it appears many people have lost sight of this, (in my humble opinion) – Recorded 1978

Said the fight to make ends meet
Keeps a man up on his feet
Holding down his job
Trying to show he can’t be boughtOoh, it takes every kinda people
To make what life’s about, yeah
Every kinda people
To make the world go ’roundSomeone’s looking for a lead
In his duty to a king or to a creed
Protecting what he feels is right
Fights against wrong with his lifeThere’s no profit in deceit
Honest men know that
Revenge does not taste sweet
Whether yellow, black, or white
Each and every man’s the same inside
Keeps a man up on his feet
Holding down his job
Trying to show he can’t be boughtOoh, it takes every kinda people
To make what life’s about, yeah
Every kinda people
To make the world go ’roundSomeone’s looking for a lead
In his duty to a king or to a creed
Protecting what he feels is right
Fights against wrong with his lifeThere’s no profit in deceit
Honest men know that
Revenge does not taste sweet
Whether yellow, black, or white
Each and every man’s the same inside
Ooh, it takes every kinda people
To make what life’s about, yeah
It takes every kinda people
To make the world go ’round
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
D-doo, doo, doo, doo, dum, dum, dum, ooh-ooh
You know that love’s the only goal
That could bring a peace to any soul, ooh
Hey, and every man’s the same
He wants the sunshine in his name
Ooh, it takes every kinda people
To make what life’s about, yeah
It takes every kinda people
To make the world go ’round
Mmm, every kinda people
To make what life’s about
