Why Must I Always Explain

And I tell you who I am, time and time and time again
Most of them laughed out loud like nothing's been lost

It's just a job you know and it's not sweet Lorraine
I can't be everywhere at once, there's always somebody to see
It can make you crazy, yeah, it can drive you insane
Over and over, over again
I go out and stare at the world in complete disbelief
And I never turned out to be the person that you wanted me to be

Why, why must I always explain?
Now, I'm standing on the outside and I'm waitin' in the rain
Always telling people things, they're too lazy to know
Tell me, why must I always explain?
It's not righteous indignation that makes me complain
Well, I get up in the morning and I get my brief
It's the fact that I always have to explain
There were hypocrites and parasites and people that drain

Tell me, why must I always explain?

Tell me, why must I always explain?
Well, it's out on the highway and it's on with the show
Bared my soul to the crowd, eh but oh, what the cost?
Tell me, why must I always explain? Alright
