God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
Guess he kissed the girls and made them cry
Those hard-faced Queens of misadventure
God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken lies
Fiery thrones of muted angels
Giving love but getting nothing back
[Chorus]
Oh, People help the people
And if you're homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
And 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
That turned all those good hearts away
[Verse 2]
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
I guess the loneliness came knocking
No one needs to be alone or sinking
[Chorus]
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
That turned, all those good hearts away
[Bridge]
Nah, Naaah, nah, nah, naaaaahhhhhh, oooouuuu
Nah, Naaah, nah, nah, naaaaahhhhhh, oooouuuu
[Chorus]
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
That turned all those good hearts away
