It used to be in order to be considered good at something, you had to prove yourself.
A show-your-work thing.
These days, all you have to do is tell people over and over and over how good you are...that you are an expert.
The BS is piled so high no one can see over it.

SOMETHING TO PROVE

how many years since you climbed that hill
yet here you are, bragging still
we all know your story well
it gets a little deeper with every tell

spitting out someone else's words
rehashing something that you heard
repeated enough that you believe
you earned the right to wear it on your sleeve
   
   big man, big talk
   never actually made that walk
   i paid my dues out on these streets
   i know a liar, i know a cheat
   god knows what you'll claim next
   it's anybody's bet
   if you've got something to prove
   you ain't proved it yet

ready with excuses for
why they never let you in that door.
guarded like some precious vault
sure as hell that ain't your fault

you tell us how things should be done
you know what's right you know what's wrong
but shown the truth you get offended
the life of a party you never attended
   
   big man, big talk...

back in the day
a conquering hero, so you say
self-made, center stage
ah, weren't you all the rage
   
   big man, big talk...
