Devo

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. Their style over time has shifted between punk, art rock, post-punk, and New Wave. Their music and stage show mingle kitsch science fiction themes, deadpan surrealist humor, and mordantly satirical social commentary.

He's been with the world 
I'm tired of the soup do jour 
He's been with the world 
I went to end this prophylactic tour 
Afraid that no one around me 
Understands my potato 
Think I'm only a spudboy 
Looking for a real tomato
He's been with the world 
I'm tired of the soup do jour 
He's been with the world 
I want to end this prophylactic tour 
Afraid nobody around here 
Understands my potato 
I think I'm only a spudboy 
Looking for a real tomato
He's been with the world 
And I'm tired of the soup do jour 
He's been with the world 
I want to end this prophylactic tour 
Afraid nobody around here 
Comprehends my potato 
Guess I'm just a spudboy 
Looking for that real tomato

[Chorus]
The smart patrol, nowhere to go 
Suburban robots that monitor reality 
Common stock, we work around the clock 
We shove the poles in the holes

[Chorus: x2]

Shove it

[Chorus]

Wait a minute, something's wrong 
He's the man from the past 
He's here to do us a favor 
A little human sacrifice 
It's just supply and demand

[Chorus 2]
Mr. Kamikaze, Mr. DNA 
He's an altruistic pervert 
Mr. DNA, Mr. Kamikaze 
Here to spread some (genes now)

[Chorus 2: x2]

Wait a minute, something's wrong 
He's a man with a plan 
His finger's pointed at Devo 
Now we must sacrifice ourselves 
That many others may live 
OK, we've got a lot to give

[Chorus 2: x3]

One, two, three, four!
