Lyrics

[Verse 1]
God knows what is hidin' in that weak and drunken heart
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
Givin' love and gettin' nothin' back
[Verse 2]
Well, people help the people
And if you're homesick
Give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
And nothin' gon' 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 3]
God knows what is hidin' in that 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 that loneliness came knockin'
No one needs to be alone, oh, singin'
[Verse 4]
People help the people
And if you're homesick
Give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
And nothin' gon' 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 5]
Na, na, na, na
Na-na, na, na, na, na-na
Na, na, na, na-na-na, na
Na, na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na, na, na, na-na
Na, na, na, na-na-na, na
Na, na, na-na-na-na-na-na
[Verse 6]
People help the people
And if you're homesick
Give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
And nothin' gon' 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
