Why Must I Always Explain? |
| Have to toe the line, I’ve got to make the most |
| Spent all the years going, from pillar to post |
| Now I’m standing on the outside and I’m waitin' in the rain |
| Tell me why must I always explain |
| Bared my soul to the crowd eh but oh what the cost |
| Most of them laughed out loud like nothing’s been lost |
| There were hypocrites and parasites and people that drain |
| Tell me why must I always explain |
| Why, why must I always explain |
| Over and over, over again |
| It’s just a job you know and it’s no sweet lorraine |
| Tell me why must I always explain (alright) |
| Well I get up in the morning and I get my brief |
| I go out and stare at the world in complete disbelief |
| It’s not righteous indignation that makes me complain |
| It’s the fact that I always have to explain |
| I can’t be everywhere at once, there’s always somebody to see |
| And I never turned out to be the person that you wanted me to be |
| And I tell you who I am, time and time and time again |
| Tell me why must I always explain |
| Well it’s out on the highway and it’s on with the show |
| Always telling people things they’re too lazy to know |
| It can make you crazy, yeah it can drive you insane |
