"PEOPLE HELP THE PEOPLE" Birdy
God knows what is hiding
In those weak and drunken hearts
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
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,
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
And 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
Guess 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,
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
And 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,
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
And turned all those good hearts away
