Lyrics

[Verse 1]
God knows what is hidin' in those weak and drunken hearts
I guess you kissed the girls and made them cry
Those hard-faced queens of misadventure
God knows what is hidin' in those weak and sunken eyes
A fiery throng of muted angels
Giving love but gettin' nothin' back, oh
[Verse 2]
People help the people
And if you're homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
And nothin' will drag you down, oh, and if I had a brain
[Verse 3]
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 4]
God knows what is hidin' in this world of little consequence
Behind the tears, inside the lies
A thousand slowly dyin' sunsets
God knows what is hidin' in those weak and drunken hearts
I guess the loneliness came knocking
No one needs to be alone, oh, save me
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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 7]
No, no, no, no, no
Hoo
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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
