People Help the People

God knows what is hiding in those weak
and drunken hearts
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 but getting nothing back

People help the people
and if your 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

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, oh save me

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
