    Lyrics:
    God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
    Guess you kissed the girls and made them cry
    Those hard-faced Queens of misadventure
    God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes
    Fiery throngs of muted angels
    Giving love but getting nothing back, oh
    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
    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 the loneliness came knocking
    No one needs to be alone or sinking
    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
    Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, ooh
    Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, ooh
    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

    While you're here... Go listen to Wings, Skinny Love, and Not About Angels.

      Like Niall Horan and the rest of 1D and McFly too! People don't give artists enough credit for what they do. Like they hear the studio version of a song and they call the artists a bunch of bullshit, but then when a friend or relative or whatever drags them along to a show they're like shit they're actually amazing, I should've given em a second chance

    I think Birdy's voice is outstanding.She has a uniqueness to her voice that just makes me want to close my eyes and think. Toss all those rappers and pop-stars, Birdy's voice is one like no others. At fifteen years of age I think she deserves an award or something.

  • @TheWhitehorseman1
    @TheWhitehorseman1 8 років тому +39

    The original writer of this song knows the truth of life, today's society is focused on self, it's great fault, and when we find that the only thing of true worth is helping others, in giving, and in giving we receive everything and if the whole world worked to help others without regard for self we would create paradise, or at least a beautiful world based on love and not greed and money.
    But if I had a brain, I would be cold as a stone, and rich as a fool that turned all of those good hearts away! This is about a world monopolistic capitalist system based completely on greed, a slave system where most of the population suffers for no reason except they are blind to the truth of it thus powerless, 95% of all wealth created since 2010 went into the pockets of the top 1%, this is obscene, poverty is created by wage slavery, it is injustice and exploitation, let us end it people, it is set up to guarantee poverty and bankruptcy, watch "Zeitgiest" here on utube. The top 64 richest people on the planet have more wealth than the bottom 50% of the worlds population combined. We can overthrow this system, as it is already crumbling, we are the 99%. No one is more enslaved than someone who falsely believes they are free!

    lyric
    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.

    God bless Birdy. This message is needed now more than ever right now. And will be needed in the future when the effect of the "vaccines" kicks in. God help us all!
