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