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
And if your 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 your 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

    Song Meaning:The song is about how people are becoming greedy and spoiled and thinking with their heads rather than their hearts. But how a person with a kind heart is willing to give something but not expect anything in return.
    About how not every one is cold hearted, but some people are, and they are hurting others.

    My Opinion:I wish artists like Birdy didn't exist and record companies pushed artists like Cherry Ghost instead. An entire album of covers for your debut? Lame. Mainstreaming fringe bands for the dinner party set? Lame. These songs are good, they don't need the 'sad girl with a piano'-ification to make them relevant.
