lyrics

Little Ruthie had a good run
Always elbow deep at the end of a trail of crumbs
Little Ruthie drew lines, time is all she took
If you can’t read between ‘em, you don’t play by her book

Little Ruthie where you hiding
Come on out there’s people dying
Misled by the tread of phoney facts
What they’re selling, I ain’t buying
Patriotic branded violence
She’s not found on a clearance rack

Until they’re toothless
Lying through their teeth, they’re ruthless

Last seen handcuffed eating pavement
Whispering names turned political statements
She’s been sneered at and tear gassed, fed gag orders
But the thing is Ruth don’t need us and we need more of her

Little Ruthie where you hiding
Come on out there’s people dying
Misled by the tread of phoney facts
What they’re selling, I ain’t buying
Patriotic branded violence
She’s not found on a clearance rack

Until they’re toothless
Lying through their teeth, they’re ruthless

Little Ruthie - where’d you run and hide, Ruth
Little Ruthie - they serving up some cooked proof
Little Ruthie - saying bon appetit
Little Ruthie - lying through their crooked teeth
Little Ruthie - where’d you run and hide, Ruth
Little Ruthie - you’re missing from the ballot booth
Little Ruthie - propaganda running loose
Little Ruthie - best tighten up and find Ruth

Little Ruthie where you hiding
Come on out there’s people dying
Misled by the tread of phoney facts
What they’re selling, I ain’t buying
Patriotic branded violence
She’s not sold
She’s not sold
She’s not sold on a clearance rack
