Birdy (2011)
People Help the People
God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
I guess he kissed the girls and made them cry
Those hard-faced queens of misadventure
God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken lies
Fiery throngs of muted angels
Giving love but getting nothing back
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, 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 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, 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 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, 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

Edited! Thanks :)
"I guess you kissed the girls and made them cry"
You or He ? The fool ?
I corrected it to "he".
Can someone add Winona Oak for the "also performed by" section? Thanks!
Added.
[@Fary] Made corrections to the first verse:
'Hardfaced Queens of misadventure' -> 'hard-faced queens' (capital letters removed, hyphen added)
'God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes' -> 'weak and sunken LIES'
'A fiery throng of muted angels' -> 'Fiery throngS of muted angels'
'Giving love and getting nothing back' -> 'Giving love BUT getting nothing back'
