|
The smell of virgin pages wafted through the swinging doors |
|
And the croaking speech he'd heard from countless 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 coming 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 backseat of the car |
|
An adolescent perspective projecting life's forecast to the stars |
|
You heard love from the lips, 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 |
