Jurisdiction of Love

Devo ( /ˈdiːvoʊ/, originally /diːˈvoʊ/) is an American punk rock/New Wave band formed in 1972 consisting of members from Kent and Akron, Ohio. The classic line-up of the band includes two sets of brothers, the Mothersbaughs (Mark and Bob) and the Casales (Gerald and Bob), along with Alan Myers.

Someone said that
No one knows what
Goes on inside
Someone in love

Strange as it seems
It makes them do things
In their right minds
Would never think of

People get away with things
They don't deserve
A jurisdiction of love

Enoughs not enough
When love gets rough
The jurisdiction of love

Off their walls
Just like Niagara Falls
Logical thought
Is no comfort
It only makes the

Might equals right
In connubial fight
The jurisdiction of love

Love equals war
I don't like it no more
The jurisdiction of love

Someone said that
No one knows what
Goes on inside
Someone in love

People get away with things
They don't deserve
A jurisdiction of love

When love turns the crank
It demands Carte Blanche
The jurisdiction of love

Might equals right
In connubial fight
The jurisdiction of love

Love equals war
I don't like it no more
The jurisdiction of love
