All the people
In this world
All the people
In this world
I gotta tell you it's alright

Look at the cover
Of a magazine
The pride of a nation
They're down on their knees
I gotta tell you
Let the people speak
I gotta tell you

Yeah, you got to have faith
In each other
All you ever, all you ever
Have for each other

They give us a reason
To go on living
It's all in the choices
That you have to make

I got to tell you
You better make them good
I got to tell you

All you got to have faith
In each other
All you ever
All you ever have for each other

All the people
In this world
All the people
In this whole wide world
I gotta tell you
Let the people speak
I got to tell you

All you got to have faith
In each other
All you ever
All you ever have for each other

Faith in each other
Faith in each other

INXS was originally formed in 1977 in Sydney, Australia as the Farriss Brothers. The lineup included the three Farris brothers: Andrew

(songwriter/keyboards); Tim (guitar); and Jon (drums), along with Michael Hutchence (lead vocals/songwriter); Kirk Pengilly (guitar/saxophone) and Garry Gary Beers (bass). They began gaining popularity playing in pubs before moving on to support other local Australian bands, including Midnight Oil.

In 1979, they changed their name to INXS and released their first single “Simple Simon” in 1980. They went on to release their debut self-titled album INXS in 1980, closely followed by their second album, Underneath the Colours, in 1981. Neither album gained much attention outside of Australia, however, in July of 1982 INXS released their single “The One Thing” ahead of their next studio album. The song began to climb the U.S. and international charts, thanks in part to music video’s heavy rotation on MTV.
