Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts

天知道那些脆弱而醉心的心中藏着什么

I guess you kissed the girls and made them cry

我猜你吻过女孩们让她们哭泣

Those Hardfaced Queens of misadventure

那些勇敢挑战命运的女王们

God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes

天知道那些脆弱而浮肿的眼睛里藏着什么

A Fiery throng of muted angels

一群无声天使的火热队伍

Giving love but getting nothing back

在给予爱却一无所得

People help the people

人民帮助人民

And if your homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it

如果你思乡，握住我的手，我会握紧你

People help the people

人民帮助人民

And nothing will drag you down

没有什么能让你陷入困境

Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain

哦，要是我脑子灵光点，哦，要是我脑子灵光点

I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool

我就会像石头一样冷酷如冰，像那愚者一样富有

That turned all those good hearts away

那一个把善良的心都拒之门外的人

...

...

God knows what is hiding in this world of little consequence

天知道这个世界藏着什么，毫无意义

Behind the tears, inside the lies

在泪水背后，在谎言深处

A thousand slowly dying sunsets

千个渐渐褪色的日落

God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts

天知道那些脆弱而醉心的心中藏着什么

I guess the loneliness came knocking

我猜孤独找上了门

No one needs to be alone, oh save me

没人需要孤单，哦救救我

People help the people

人民帮助人民

And if your homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it

如果你思乡，握住我的手，我会握紧你

People help the people

人民帮助人民

Nothing will drag you down

没有什么能让你陷入困境

Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain

哦，要是我脑子灵光点，哦，要是我脑子灵光点

I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool

我就会像石头一样冷酷如冰，像那愚者一样富有

That turned, all those good hearts away

那一个把善良的心都拒之门外的人

...

...

People help the people

人民帮助人民

And if your homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it

如果你思乡，握住我的手，我会握紧你

People help the people

人民帮助人民

Nothing will drag you down

没有什么能让你陷入困境

Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain

哦，要是我脑子灵光点，哦，要是我脑子灵光点

I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool

我就会像石头一样冷酷如冰，像那愚者一样富有

That turned all those good hearts away

那一个把善良的心都拒之门外的人
