lyrics

Yes I’m clean masculine and confident
I feel like I could even run for president
Spread my message clear across the continent
Clean masculine and confident

About a year or two ago
I bottomed out I got real low
I said things to the abyss that the abyss dared not repeat
Well I wept and wailed and gnashed my teeth
I crawled high on that midden heap
I ranted railed till finally sleep
Descended upon me

But the mirror only shows what’s on the surface
And the surface never did no wrong to me
So that’s why I’m—

Clean masculine and confident
I’m thinking I should really run for president
Spread my message clear across the continent
You know it’s all about being clean masculine and confident

Well I woke up one foul morning
I was feeling sick I was feeling ornery
Had a pain down in my gut that lamed my limbs
Friends!
My goose got cooked my yoke got busted
My taters braised my carrot roasted
The former glory that I’d once boasted of being
I was not him

But the mirror only shows what’s on the outside
And the outside, it don’t look so bad to me
No it don’t so that’s why I’m—

Clean masculine and confident
Just watch me now I’m headed on to president
Spread my message clear across the continent
Clean masculine and confident

Rube was formed in New York in 2016. We recorded our first album in Georgia in 2018. Now we live in New York, Georgia, and Los Angeles. We play poppy country rock music; it's as dumb as it sounds but it's pretty smart sometimes.
