Explanations

Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson
When I do what I do
Why must I keep giving you an explanation
I am sure enough at a loss
When I have to deal with cross examinations
I thought it was surely well beyond
Any harm it make in calm investigations
But your allusive and defensive
When I'm bumping up againest your imagination
So we sat down and we talked it over
Til there wasn't nothing left of it
And it always makes me wonder
If I'm sitting here and talking to myself
When I say what I say
Why do you get in my way with intimadation
I am only wasting time
Knowing you don't want to find no information
It's like stepping under water
And getting nowhere fast
I wonder if it's really worth the bother
And sometimes I feel like I may not last
Feeling like a treasure hunter looking for an explanation
