Bruce Springsteen - Gave It A Name Lyrics






In the fields of the lord, stood Abel and Cain
Cain slew Abel 'neath the black rain
At night he couldn't stand the guilt or the blame
So he gave it a name
So he gave it a name
So he gave it a name

Billy got drunk, angry at his wife
He hit her once, he hit her twice
At night he'd lie in bed, he couldn't stand the shame
So he gave it a name
So he gave it a name
So he gave it a name

Pa told me "Son, one thing I know is true
Poison snake bites you, you're poison too"
At night I can feel that poison runnin' 'round my veins

Bruce Springsteen Gave It A Name Comments
  1. M.... S....

    Whoever the guy is who chose the soundtrack for "Show Me A Hero" is a hardcore fan.

    Springsteen fans who aren't hardcore don't know this song lol

  2. N.... B....

    Show me a hero brought me here too!

  3. m.... ....

    Being a pice of shit brought me here.

  4. j.... v....

    no fan of the boss either but this one is just superb. Show me a hero brought me here as well

  5. A.... M....

    Brilliant song

  6. M.... S....

    Show me a hero!

  7. S.... S....

    SHOW ME A HERO!!!

  8. M.... P....

    One of the most haunting, far out, addictive sounds in pop/rock music. Oh, my!

  9. I.... G....

    Had the opportunity to watch 'Show me a Hero' on an airplane, when this song played in the pilot
    it almost brought me to tears.

    I.... G....

    +Isidro Garcia is that a song by the boss?

  10. M.... O....

    I don't care all that much for Bruce Springsteen's music but I really like this song. Heard it first on Show me a Hero.

  11. K.... B....

    Show Me a Hero brought me here too. Cheese alert, fell free to laugh but... when I finished Treme I felt a piece of me was missing, couldn't believe it was over. I had the same reaction when I finished Show Me a Hero. There's something about the quality, intelligence and humanity of a David Simon Series (The Corner, The Wire, Generation Kill etc...) that is unequaled in any other tv. I can't wait to see what he writes next.

  12. N.... D....

    It sounds like Oscar Isaac's voice, seems like a cover of Bruce Springsteen's.

    N.... D....

    nope-definitely Bruce can t mistake that voice-the man has many beautiful low key songs like this...

  13. W.... y....

    and that song could use another verse

  14. W.... y....

    show me a hero also brought me here. and what was the name?!?!? is the name sin?

  15. K.... M....

    Throw this in with This Hard Land as a great unknown from the Boss.

  16. I.... C....

    Shame is a terrible thang baby

  17. B.... T....

    How come this great song has been viewed 14,000 times. All other bullshit songs viewed millions per day....

    B.... T....

    +Batdavaa Tserendorj cause this song isnt very good. Does bruce play this at live shows? If he does it must be a piss break song.

  18. P.... ....

    Show Me a Hero brought me here also.

  19. z.... z....

  20. A.... D....

  21. s.... j....

    Kane slew able Neath the black rain, at night he couldn't stand the guilt or the pain

  22. P.... D....
