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.

I know I let you tell me what to do
You were confident you know best
Now things aren't working like you want them to
Your confidence is what I detest

You got me lookin' up high

You told me that's the way it is
You said that things were getting better
You said I should expect all this

You think it's funny
But what I say is true
The reason that I live like this
Is all because of you

There is a thought that keeps me thinking
Like a stone inside my shoe
It is a vision reoccurring
A dirty window I can see you through
