People help the people

God knows what is hiding
In that weak and drunken heart
I 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
A 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
That turned all those good hearts away willys.

God knows what is hiding
In that 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 that loneliness came knocking
No one needs to be alone, oh, singing:

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

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.
