Insincere Song Lyrics:
"The Hook"
The Insincere Lyrics: It doesn't matter what I say
So long as I sing with inflection That makes you feel that I'll convey Some inner truth of vast reflection But I've said nothing so far And I can keep it up for as long as it takes There is something amiss I am being insincere In fact I don't mean any of this Still my confession draws you near Why They're Insincere: Sincere about their insincerity. Brilliantly done.
