(give Me Back My) Name Lyrics - Talking Heads

There's a word for it 

Words don't mean a thing 

There's name for it 

Names make all the difference in the world 

Some things can never be spoken 

Some things cannot be pronounced 

That word does not exist in any language 

It will never be uttered by a human mouth 

Let X make a statement 

Let breath pass through those cracked lips 

That man was my hero 

Now that word has been taken from us

Some things can never be spoken 

Some things cannot be pronounced 

That word does not exist in any language 

It will never be uttered by a human mouth 

Give me back my name, give me back my name 

Something has been changed in my life 

Something has been changed in my life 

Something must be returned to us 

Something must be returned to us 

That word does not exist in any language 

It will never be uttered by a human mouth

Give me back my name, give me back my name 

Something has been changed in my life 

Something has been changed in my life 

Something must be returned to us 

Something must be returned to us
