The Truth About Ruth - Morrissey

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
