Heaven knows you're unhappy now
Heaven knows you're alone at night
Just a glance upon the street
Fills your head with dark delight
Don't you know you're not the only one?
We all walk in the same shoes
Every heart is bruised and black and blue
We all walk, we all walk
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 a fool
That turned all those good hearts away
Sleeping like a homeless child
Slowly, slowly, out of sight
Anywhere the bluebirds nest
You know they always serve you right
Don't you know you're not the only one?
We all walk in the same shoes
Every heart is bruised and black and blue
We all walk, we all walk
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 a fool
That turned all those good hearts away
Birds are flying over you
Three-quarters of a million guns
And who owns them? I, I do
I, I do, I, I do
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 a fool
That turned all those good hearts away
