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] |
