Lyrics
The Truth About Ruth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am a sleuth
I dig up the truth
I ferret the facts
Even when there are none
A silent child
An elegant youth
This led me to find
The truth about Ruth
Ruth is John
Ruth is John
We all do what we can
Just to get along
The life you lead
Straightforward and bland
Everything happens according to plan
But some people fight
Just to take root
In a world ill-equipped for
The truth about Ruth
Ruth is John
Ruth is John
We all do what we can
Just to get along
Oh bully for you
Oh bully for you
Your groin and your face
They slip right into place
So masoned and carved
Your arrow is drawn
You know who you are
Yet you have no idea
Ruth is John
Ruth is John
And sooner or later
We are all calmed down
