musical group Devo
Devo is an Art Punk / New Wave musical group.
God made Man, but he used a monkey to do it.
A victim of collision on the open sea / Nobody ever said that life was free.
Got an urge i wanna purge / 'Cause i'm losing control.
There’s no place like home / No place like home / To return to.
Today's noise is tomorrow's hootenanny.
Not necessarily beautiful / But mutated.
Something about the way you taste / Makes me want to clear my throat.
Laugh if you want to / Or say you don't care / If you cannot see it / You think it's not there / It doesn't work that way.
...when I was in high school, I dressed like a punk rocker and people would scream "Devo!" at me - because Devo infiltrated the mainstream. Out of all the bands who came from the underground and actually made it in the mainstream, Devo is the most subversive and challenging of all. They're just awesome. I love them.
Guess i'm just a spudboy / Looking for that real tomato.
In ancient rome there was a poem / About a dog that had two bones / He picked at one he licked the other / He went in circles till he dropped dead.
This is the band of the future. I'm going to produce them in Tokyo this winter.
Freedom of choice is what you got / Freedom from choice is what you want.
We’re inspired by reality because the world is so ridiculous and stupid. DE-EVOLUTION IS REAL.
Beautiful mutants I can see in the distance / I think they're calling our name.
In this land where stability is hard to find / You can rearrange the patterns so unkind.
Take a step outside yourself / Then you turn around / Take a look at who you are / It's pretty scary.
It's a beautiful world / For YOU / Not ME.
We push against the rest of life / As if we can survive without the world around us / Can’t have a rainbow without the rain / Can’t have a payday without the pain / Can’t have a lover walk out without the love leaving with them.
