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. The band had a No. 14 Billboard chart hit in 1980 with the single "Whip It", and has maintained a cult following throughout its existence.

Well I kinda feel sorry for jimmy
Yeah but you don't know the whole story he wasn't a nice guy
What ya mean?
Let me tell ya

Jimmy's in a wheel chair and I don't care
He used to walk his dog
And then he'd beat him good
Like his pretty wife

And now they're up and gone
And jimmy's in a wheelchair and I don't care
He was the president
Of a company

He kept his workers poor
He'd lie and cheat and steal
Well when justice strikes
Well every once in a while

It makes a bullseye hit
Well every once in a while
He used to yell and scream
Until his son would cry

Then he'd run him down
Well he don't run no more
Jimmy's in a wheelchair and I don't care
He got big and fat

And he was ridin' high
Makin' lots of cash
Trashin' others' lives
Now jimmy's in a wheelchair and I don't care

Lord he had it comin'
Now he's cryin' in his beer
Lord have mercy on this man
