Morrissey - The Truth About Ruth Lyrics

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
