People help the people

God knows what is hiding
In those weak and drunken hearts
Guess you kissed the girls and made them cry
Those hardfaced queens of misadventure
God knows what is hiding
In those weak and sunken eyes
Fiery throng of muted angels
Giving love and getting nothing back

Oh, people help the people
And if you're homesick
Give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh, and if I had a brain
Oh, and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
And turned all those good hearts away

God knows what is hiding
In this world of little consequence
Behind the tears, inside the lies
A thousand slowly dying sunsets
God knows what is hiding
In those weak and drunken hearts
Guess loneliness came knocking
No one needs to be alone, oh save me

Oh, people help the people
And if you're homesick
Give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh, and if I had a brain
Oh, and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
And turned all those good hearts away

Oh, people help the people
And if you're homesick
Give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh, and if I had a brain
Oh, and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
And turned all those good hearts away
