Van Morrison - Why Must I Always Explain? lyrics
[Van Morrison - Why Must I Always Explain? lyrics]
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
Tell me why must I always explain
