a woman's work lyrics

Ruby's got a government that rules inside her head
A third eye, a crystal ball, her mama always said
It would guide her if she kept it inside her

The freak across the street tried to contaminate her skin
She was thinking “Who would miss him?”
The world's about to end
And he'd fit perfectly inside her catastrophe

She's a woman at heart and a man on a mission
A Saint to purify the human condition
She's a fortune teller, but she's never gonna tell
There's a worm in the bottom of a dead wishing well

CHORUS
A woman's work is never done
A woman's work is never done
Never, when she's a loaded gun, loaded gun
Never, when she's a loaded gun, loaded gun

She found it funny that nine and ten were easier to do
After she'd meticulously filtered out a few
Still the voices shout
Take the garbage out

She was raised to believe that you get what you pray for
If God was really good then she wouldn't have to wait for
Him to drop the gacel, so she'll do it all herself
There's a worm in the bottom of a dead wishing well

CHORUS

Bridge
When the flashing lights cut through the billowing dust
Her voices cried “Looks like it's not just us, justice”
Guess she got a little careless with cadaver eleven
Before she'll go to jail she'd rather go to Heaven
And the final leap of faith of a zealot Jezebel
Led 'em diggin' in the bottom of a dead wishing well

CHORUS x2

She's a loaded gun
A woman's work, yeah, yeah
Oh, a woman's work
This, this woman's
This woman's work
