| [00:00.43] |
I remember laying down |
| [00:02.92] |
It was 1983 |
| [00:04.59] |
|
| [00:05.53] |
Under the tree while listening to London |
| [00:08.84] |
Calling or something like that |
| [00:10.95] |
Twenty-three years later |
| [00:12.89] |
|
| [00:13.39] |
I'm here at a meeting |
| [00:16.19] |
Trying to impress someone at a dying record company |
| [00:20.56] |
|
| [00:21.37] |
I got nothing to prove |
| [00:24.56] |
|
| [00:26.56] |
And in walks in this sullen girl |
| [00:29.05] |
Who looks like she's nineteen' or wants to be |
| [00:31.98] |
With her biker boots and her hair dyed black |
| [00:34.66] |
Did that look so many years ago |
| [00:37.04] |
She looks at me like I'm some square |
| [00:39.85] |
Or I'm like her mother |
| [00:42.40] |
Well' fuck you' kid; I got nothing to prove |
| [00:45.71] |
|
| [00:46.27] |
Nothing to prove |
| [00:48.27] |
|
| [00:49.09] |
Nothing to prove |
| [00:50.96] |
|
| [00:53.32] |
Once I was as miserable as you |
| [00:56.76] |
|
| [00:57.32] |
Nothing to prove |
| [00:58.50] |
|
| [00:59.62] |
Nothing to prove |
| [01:01.13] |
|
| [01:04.24] |
I got nothing to prove |
| [01:07.74] |
|
| [01:08.87] |
And here I am in Los Angeles |
| [01:11.55] |
I came here two years ago |
| [01:13.54] |
|
| [01:14.23] |
And everyone's young and beautiful' |
| [01:16.67] |
and their skin is so smooth |
| [01:19.53] |
And everyone's in the industry' |
| [01:22.03] |
and I hate when they use that word |
| [01:24.77] |
And when they tell me they're in the industry' |
| [01:27.40] |
I ask' "Oh' are you in steel?" |
| [01:30.15] |
I've got nothing to prove |
| [01:34.01] |
Nothing to prove |
| [01:36.51] |
Nothing to prove |
| [01:37.36] |
|
| [01:41.11] |
Once I was as miserable as you |
| [01:45.10] |
Nothing to prove |
| [01:47.54] |
Nothing to prove |
| [01:49.11] |
|
| [01:51.92] |
I got nothing to prove |
| [01:54.97] |
|
| [01:56.72] |
And later that week I saw that same girl shopping |
| [01:59.90] |
at the Trader Joe's on La Brea |
| [02:02.46] |
She was with a big bomb blonde' |
| [02:04.72] |
and I wondered if it was her girlfriend |
| [02:07.21] |
Surprisingly' she came up to me |
| [02:09.63] |
and smiled and said she loved our meeting |
| [02:12.75] |
Maybe I judged her wrong |
| [02:15.38] |
But usually I'm right |
| [02:18.13] |
I got nothing to prove |
| [02:21.95] |
Nothing to prove |
| [02:23.81] |
|
| [02:24.63] |
Nothing to prove |
| [02:26.00] |
|
| [02:28.74] |
Once I was as miserable as you |
| [02:32.11] |
|
| [02:32.74] |
Nothing to prove |
| [02:35.17] |
Nothing to prove |
| [02:36.42] |
|
| [02:39.92] |
I got nothing to prove |
| [02:41.94] |
|
| [02:43.13] |
Nothing to prove |
| [02:45.81] |
Nothing to prove |
| [02:49.24] |
|
| [02:49.80] |
Once I was as miserable as you |
| [02:53.11] |
|
| [02:53.92] |
Nothing to prove |
| [02:55.23] |
|
| [02:56.29] |
Nothing to prove |
| [02:57.72] |
|
| [03:00.91] |
I got nothing to prove |
