Why Must I Always Explain? Full Lyrics
[00:24.64] Have to toe the line, I've got to make the most
[00:30.14] Spent all the years going from pillar to post
[00:34.72] Now, I'm standing on the outside and I'm waitin' in the rain
[00:39.28] Tell me, why must I always explain?
[00:45.68] Bared my soul to the crowd, eh but oh, what the cost?
[00:50.30] Most of them laughed out loud like nothing's been lost
[00:55.74] There were hypocrites and parasites and people that drain
[01:01.20] Tell me, why must I always explain?
[01:07.78] Why, why must I always explain?
[01:12.46] Over and over, over again
[01:18.87] It's just a job you know and it's not sweet Lorraine
[01:23.47] Tell me, why must I always explain? Alright
[01:29.83]
[01:51.63] Well, I get up in the morning and I get my brief
[01:57.10] I go out and stare at the world in complete disbelief
[02:02.53] It's not righteous indignation that makes me complain
[02:08.11] It's the fact that I always have to explain
[02:13.62] I can't be everywhere at once, there's always somebody to see
[02:19.03] And I never turned out to be the person that you wanted me to be
[02:24.54] And I tell you who I am, time and time and time again
[02:30.04] Tell me, why must I always explain?
[02:37.31] Well, it's out on the highway and it's on with the show
[02:41.06] Always telling people things, they're too lazy to know
[02:47.48] It can make you crazy, yeah, it can drive you insane
[02:52.06] Tell me, why must I always explain?
[02:59.19]
