Prove It - The Rocket Summer
"Good evening"
She says to herself with haughty eyes
The motive lies behind them
He walks in proudly
Loosens his tie
So satisfied to keep walking past
All the people you used to know
I say hello
"Please to meet you” she said
Although I knew her some years ago
What are you trying to prove
What are you trying to lose
As you condescend through the room
With your subtle grip on the ruins of old
What are you trying to prove
What are you doing talking bad
On those you knew with your subtle grip on
The ruins of ten years ago and counting
So just stop it
Hey take it easy
It's not hard to see you've had one too many
And do you kiss your mother
With that mouth you have talking at me
And do you think you try to hard
You're holding on to things forgotten
So how are you
I am sincerely asking about you
What are you trying to prove
What are you trying to lose
As you condescend through the room
With your subtle grip on the ruins of old
What are you trying to prove
What are you doing talking bad
On those you knew with your subtle grip on
The ruins of ten years ago and counting
So slow down
You don't have anything to prove
So quit the self-aggrandizing
What are you trying to prove
What are you trying to lose
As you condescend through the room
With your subtle grip on the ruins of old
What are you trying to prove
What are you doing talking bad
On those you knew with your subtle grip
On the ruins of ten years ago and counting
Did I nail
Did I nail it
Nail it
Did I nail
Did I nail it
Nail it
Yeah I nailed
Yeah I nailed it
Nailed it
