[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
