[00:00.60]I remember laying down
[00:02.56]It was 1983
[00:04.98]Under the tree while listening to London
[00:08.57]Calling or something like that
[00:10.50]Twenty-three years later
[00:12.78]I'm here at a meeting
[00:15.48]Trying to impress someone at a dying record company
[00:20.68]I got nothing to prove
[00:25.12]
[00:26.12]And in walks in this sullen girl
[00:28.76]Who looks like she's nineteen, or wants to be
[00:31.77]With her biker boots and her hair dyed black
[00:34.11]Did that look so many years ago
[00:36.84]She looks at me like I'm some square
[00:39.48]Or I'm like her mother
[00:41.98]Well, fuck you, kid; I got nothing to prove
[00:45.21]
[00:46.00]Nothing to prove
[00:48.51]Nothing to prove
[00:51.90]Once I was as miserable as you
[00:56.56]Nothing to prove
[00:59.23]Nothing to prove
[01:02.92]I got nothing to prove
[01:07.41]
[01:08.61]And here I am in Los Angeles
[01:11.05]I came here two years ago
[01:14.00]And everyone's young and beautiful,
[01:16.49]and their skin is so smooth
[01:19.17]And everyone's in the industry,
[01:21.52]and I hate when they use that word
[01:24.57]And when they tell me they're in the industry,
[01:26.91]I ask, "Oh, are you in steel?"
[01:29.57]I've got nothing to prove
[01:33.31]
[01:34.01]Nothing to prove
[01:36.54]Nothing to prove
[01:40.50]Once I was as miserable as you
[01:44.51]Nothing to prove
[01:46.83]Nothing to prove
[01:50.59]I got nothing to prove
[01:55.23]
[01:56.51]And later that week I saw that same girl shopping
[01:59.27]at the Trader Joe's on La Brea
[02:01.99]She was with a big bomb blonde,
[02:03.80]and I wondered if it was her girlfriend
[02:06.90]Surprisingly, she came up to me
[02:09.55]and smiled and said she loved our meeting
[02:12.27]Maybe I judged her wrong
[02:14.76]But usually I'm right
[02:17.47]I got nothing to prove
[02:20.95]
[02:21.69]Nothing to prove
[02:23.77]Nothing to prove
[02:27.92]Once I was as miserable as you
[02:31.60]Nothing to prove
[02:34.54]Nothing to prove
[02:37.91]I got nothing to prove
[02:41.85]
[02:42.75]Nothing to prove
[02:45.11]Nothing to prove
[02:48.50]Once I was as miserable as you
[02:53.22]Nothing to prove
[02:55.82]Nothing to prove
[03:00.57]I got nothing to prove
[03:04.63]
