Nothing to Prove

歌詞

I remember laying down, it was 1983 Under the tree while listening to or something like that Twenty-three years later, I'm here at a meeting Trying to impress someone at a dying record company But I got nothing to prove And in walks in this sullen girl who looks like she's nineteen, or wants to be Her hair dyed black and her biker boots Well, I did that look so many years ago She looks at me like I'm some square or I'm her mother Well, fuck you, kid; I've got nothing to prove Nothing to prove Nothing to prove Once I was as miserable as you Nothing to prove Nothing to prove I got nothing to prove Here I am in Los Angeles I came here two years ago And everyone's young and beautiful, and their skin's so smooth And everyone's in the industry, and I hate when they use that word And when they say they're in the industry, I say, "Oh, are you in steel?" Well, I got nothing to prove Nothing to prove Nothing to prove Once I was as miserable as you Nothing to prove Nothing to prove I got nothing to prove Later that week I saw that same girl shopping at the Trader Joe's She was with a big bomb blonde, and I wondered if it was her girlfriend And to my surprise, she ran up to me and smiled and said, "I loved our meeting" Well, I was wrong about her But usually I'm right Well, I've got nothing to prove Nothing to prove Nothing to prove Once I was as miserable as you Nothing to prove Nothing to prove I got nothing to prove
