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
