I was born with a name no one would want
That’s how I felt anyway
I was born with a name no one would want
And I vowed I would change it some day
That’s how I became Eliot Wilder
And when that day came
And I need to think about a name
I wanted to make one up
That wouldn’t sound so fucking lame
It would be bolder, not milder
I wanted a name like Eliot Wilder
I believed I found myself at last
Some old friends were aghast
Suddenly I’m in a different caste
Erase who I was and change the past
