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 not 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
 Tell me, why must I always explain?
