Lyrics

When they come looking for an explanationThere will be some tantalizing cluesSome of you have heard me recite passagesSome of you have read a page or two
My manifesto, My manifestoIf you read every single word then you will knowWhy I have done what I have doneWhy I will do what I'm about to doIt's all in my manifesto
There were boxes stashed up in the atticBut that was six or seven addresses agoEven if you think you know somebodyHow can you ever really know?
My manifesto, My manifestoIf you read every single word then you will knowWhy I have done what I have doneWhy I will do what I'm about to doIt's all in my manifesto
I wish that everything was not so complicatedThat I needed to explain
Will I outlive it or it will outlive me?Is it finished if I say it is today?Maybe someday someone else will make my life’s workTheir life’s work, and I can live forever that way
My manifesto, My manifestoIf you read every single word then you will knowWhy I have done what I have doneWhy I will do what I'm about to doIt's all in my manifestoIt's all in my manifesto
