People Help the People lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 throngs of muted angels
Giving love but gettin' nothin' back, ooh

[Chorus]
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
Guess the loneliness came knocking
No one needs to be alone or singin'
[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, nah, nah, nah, nah-ooh, ooh
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah-ooh, ooh

[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
