Van Morrison - Why Must I Always Explain? Lyrics
Have to toe the line, Ive got to make the mostSpent all the years going, from pillar to postNow Im standing on the outside and Im waitin in the rainTell me why must I always explainBared my soul to the crowd eh but oh what the costMost of them laughed out loud like nothings been lostThere were hypocrites and parasites and people that drainTell me why must I always explainWhy, why must I always explainOver and over, over againIts just a job you know and its no sweet lorraineTell me why must I always explain (alright)Well I get up in the morning and I get my briefI go out and stare at the world in complete disbeliefIts not righteous indignation that makes me complainIts the fact that I always have to explainI cant be everywhere at once, theres always somebody to seeAnd I never turned out to be the person that you wanted me to beAnd I tell you who I am, time and time and time againTell me why must I always explainWell its out on the highway and its on with the showAlways telling people things theyre too lazy to knowIt can make you crazy, yeah it can drive you insaneTell me why must I always explain.
