[Verse 1]
You got the CBS...!
And the ABC...!
You got Time and Newsweek!
Well, they're the same to me!
Now don't you wanna get right with me?

I hope you get ev'rything you need
(Puzzling Evidence)

[Chorus 1]
Puzzling Evidence[x3]
Done hardened in your heart

[Verse 2]
Hardened in your heart
Alright!
Now I am the gun
And you are the bullet
I got the power and glory!
(Puzzling)
And the money to buy it!
(Puzzling)
Got your Gulf and Western and your MasterCard
(Puzzling Evidence)
Got what you wanted and you lost what you had
(Puzzling Evidence)

[Chorus 1]
Puzzling Evidence[x3]
Done hardened in your heart[x2]
Alright!

See the little children! (Puzzlin')
And the family! (Puzzlin')
Gonna live together! (Puzzlin')
Take them home with me! (Puzzlin')
Well I hope you're happy with what you've made
(Puzzling Evidence)
In the land of the free and the home of the brave
(Puzzling Evidence)
I'm seeing

[Chorus 1]
Puzzling Evidence[x2]
Puzzling (sometimes) evidence
Done hardened in your heart
Hardened in your heart

[Chorus 2]
Huh...huh...huh...huh...huh...huh...huh
I'm puzzling (Huh!)
Puzzling (Huh!)[x2]
P-P-P-Puzzlin'! (Huh!)
Still Puzzlin'! (Huh!)

Talking Heads

Ground-breaking rock band Talking Heads is arguably one of the most influential bands of all time. Spearheaded by their slightly crazy lead singer David Byrne, they were at the forefront of the New Wave movement.

The band was formed in 1974 by Byrne and drummer Chris Frantz. Frantz’s then-girlfriend-later-wife Tina Weymouth was quickly recruited to play bass. After a few recordings and performances, guitarist/keyboardist Jerry Harrison was hired to round out the group.

Their first album, Talking 77, was appropriately released in 1977. It quickly received critical acclaim.
