Ruby lyrics
by Shauna Dean Cokeland
[Verse One]
Ruby's at the back of the club tonight
Ruby's at the back of the club
She hopes it's not another let-down
And chokes another cigarette down
They stare, hung up on your X and Y
The world don't treat girls like you right
Ruby, don't get confused
There's a reason all the statues look like you
[Chorus]
You're not a sick joke played by the young
They make you feel you aren't welcome
You would've been revered
They do not love you here
[Verse Two]
Eli's in his bedroom back home tonight
He's painting on a painting alone
Steps out for another bong rip
Subsidized by restaurant tips
In another timeline, you're a god
And Michelangelo's out of a job
You can't stop, you're painting
Your name on the lips of a generation
[Bridge]
They're shooting at the back of the club tonight
Everybody's turning to run
Skyscrapers above don't blink
They see sh*t like this twice a week
The kids out here don't play, little boy
These made-out-in-LA little boys
Make your getaway, little boys
There's nothing left to say, little boys
[Chorus]
You're not a sick joke played by the young
You're not the sickness, you're a symptom
It's not your fight
Don't think the city did you right
