They tell us that
We lost our tails,
Evolving up
From little snails.
I say it's all
Just wind in sails.
Are we not men?
(We are devo!)
Are we not men?
(D-E-V-O)
We're pinheads now,
We are not whole.
We're pinheads all:
Jocko h*mo.
Are we not men?
(We are devo!)
Are we not men?
(D-E-V-O)
Are we not pins?
(We are devo!)
Monkey men all
In business suit.
Teachers and critics
All dance the poot.
Are we not men?
(We are devo!)
Are we not men?
(D-E-V-O)
Are we not pins?
(We are devo!)
Are we not men?
(D-E-V-O)
We're giving up:
God made man,
But he used the monkey to do it.
Apes in the plan
For a walking robot.
I can walk like an ape,
Talk like an ape,
I can do what a monkey can do.
God made man,
But a monkey supplied the glue.
Are we not men?
(We are devo!)...
We must repeat!
(D-E-V-O!)...
We must repeat!
(OK let's go!)
