[00:-04.00] Jill Sobule - Nothing To Prove
[00:-01.00]
[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]
