|
The smell of virgin pages wafted through the swingin' doors |
|
And the croakin' speech he'd heard from countries counselors before |
|
They said, "We all care for you, we know how you suffer |
|
But I know you can succeed, I used to have it so much rougher" |
|
There's hope in the words and emotion in the eyes |
|
It's so easy to be misled by the savvy gentle guise |
|
And like fools we trust the delivery but it's all just drunk sincerity |
|
It's all just drunk sincerity |
|
In maternal family assembly poised regarding the blue tube |
|
The numbers crept up higher and the hawks stayed out of view |
|
Then the generals said, "We don't want our boys dead |
|
Your sons and your husbands will be comin' back heroes soon" |
|
There's hope in the words and emotion in the eyes |
|
It's so easy to be misled by the savvy gentle guise |
|
And like fools we trust the delivery but it's all just drunk sincerity |
|
It's all just drunk sincerity |
|
With steam, heat, and rhythm in the back seat of the car |
|
And adolescent perspective projectin' life's forecast to the stars |
|
You heard love from the lips and you were rapt by the hips |
|
And the promise was eternal but you couldn't see that far |
|
There's hope in the words and emotion in the eyes |
|
It's so easy to be misled by the savvy gentle guise |
|
And like fools we trust the delivery but it's all just drunk sincerity |
|
It's all just drunk sincerity |
|
It's all just drunk sincerity |
|
It is all just drunk sincerity |
