Drunk Sincerity Lyrics

Drunk Sincerity lyrics

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
