1. _ Going Under
Left home with a friend of mine
Gone two years and i don't know why
Now i'm happy all the time
I can't think and i'm feelin' fine
Girl put me in a situation
Going through soft core mutation
Think you heard this all before
Now you're gonna hear some more
I know a place where dreams get crushed
Hopes are smashed but that ain't much
Voluntary experimentation
Going through soft core mutation
I'm going under
Down under where the lights are low
To a place where all the mutants go
Doing things i never did before
Inside out and coming back for more
Little girls with the four red lips
Never knew it could be like this
You put me in a situation
Goin' through soft core mutation

2. _ Baby Doll
Girl of my dreams she don't love me
Always the way it seems to be
My baby doll
Light of my life she turns it on
Over my head not close enough
My baby doll
Baby doll
You look so good
Baby doll
You feel so big
Baby doll
You let me have it
Why did you do it baby doll
Quick-tempered queen knows what she wants
And what i got is what its not
My baby doll

3. _ Whip It
Crack that whip
Give the past the slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma's back
When a problem comes along
You must whip it
Before the cream sits out too long
You must whip it
When something's going wrong
You must whip it
Now whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late
To whip it
Whip it good
When a good time turns around
You must whip it
You will never live it down
Unless you whip it
No one gets away
Until they whip it
I say whip it
Whip it good
I say whip it
Whip it good
Crack that whip
Give the past the slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma's back
When a problem comes along
You must whip it
Before the cream sits out too long
You must whip it
When something's going wrong
You must whip it
Now whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late
To whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late
To whip it
Whip it good

4. _ Gut Feeling
Something about the way you taste
Makes me want to clear my throat
There's a message to your movements
That really gets my goat
I looked for sniffy linings
But you're rotten to the core
I've had just about all i can take
You know i can't take it no more
Got a gut feeling
Centered 'round long time ago
On your ability to torment
Then you took your tongs of love
And stripped away my garment
Got a gut feeling
Slap your mammy down
Slap your pappy down again
Oh move it up and down now
Oh move it all around now

5. _ Gates Of Steel
Twist away the gates of steel
Unlock the secret voice
Give in to ancient noise
Take a chance a brand new dance
Twist away the gates of steel
Twist away
Now twist and shout
The earth it moves too slow
But the earth is all we know
We pay to play the human way
Twist away the gates of steel
A man is real
Not made of steel
But the earth is all we know
We pay to play the human way
Twist away the gates of steel
The beginning was the end
Of everything now
The ape regards his tail
He's stuck on it
Repeats until he fails
Half a goon and half a god
A man's not made of steel
Twist away
Now twist and shout
The earth it moves too slow
But the earth is all we know
We pay to play the human way
Twist away the gates of steel
A man is real that's how he feels

6. _ Happy Guy
Well its an open road
And its full of life
But it stops somewhere
Cause time keeps ticking away
Let me tell you about a boy
An average spud
He was twice in love
With two very different girls
Knowing life was short
He told them both the truth
But they already knew
Now he's a happy guy
Well its a random turn
On a game show wheel
And it stops somewhere
Cause time keeps ticking away
Let me tell you about a man
A tragic case
Love kicked in his face
He shriveled up and died
From a broken heard
Reincarnated as a work of art
He's got a brand new start
Hey!
Now he's a happy guy.

7. _ Jocko Homo
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!
We're pinheads now
We are not whole
We're pinheads all
Jocko homo
Are we not men?
D-e-v-o
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
God made man
But he used the monkey to do it
Apes in the plan
We're all here to prove it
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
We must repeat
O.k. let's go!

8. _ That's Good
Everybody it's a good thing
Everybody wants a good thing
Everybody ain't it true that
Everybody's looking for the same thing
Ain't it true there's just no doubt
There's some things that you can't do without
And that's good
Ain't it true as the sun that shines
You got yours and you got mine
And that's good
Everybody's just like you it's true
Everybody wants a good thing too
Now let's have a great big hand
For everybody who can understand
Life's a bee without a buzz
It's going great till you get stung
And let us not forget to toast
Everyone who might have missed the boat
And to everybody else who waits
Until the next one sails in again
Everybody it's a good thing
Ain't it true it's a monumental good thing

9. _ Girl U Want
She sings from somewhere you can't see
She sits in the top of the greenest tree
She sends out an aroma of undefined love
It drips on down in a mist from above
She's just the girl, just the girl
That u want
She's just the girl, just the girl
That u want
You hear her calling everywhere you turn
You know you're headed for the pleasure burn
But the words get stuck on the tip of your tongue
She's the real thing but you knew it all along
She's just the girl, just the girl
That u want
She's just the girl, just the girl
That u want
Look at you with your mouth watering
Look at you with your mind reeling
Why don't we just admit it's all over
Just the girl u want
She's just the girl, just the girl
That u want
She's just the girl, just the girl
That u want
She sings from somewhere you can't see
She sits in the top of the greenest tree
She sends out an aroma of undefined lust
It drips on down in a mist from above
She's just the girl, just the girl
That u want
She's just the girl, just the girl
That u want
Look at you with your mouth watering
Look at you with your mind spinnin'
Why don't we just admit it's all over
Just the girl u want
She's just the girl, just the girl
That u want
She's just the girl, just the girl
That u want
She's just the girl, just the girl
That u want
She's just the girl, just the girl

11. _ It Doesn't Matter To Me
Listen comrade i don't care
How long you want to grow your hair
It doesn't matter to me
Hey lady have you heard the news?
You can burn your wig and burn your shoes
It doesn't matter to me
But there's something bigger than my vcr
Something important and it's waiting for you
Oh yeah
Knock it off pal i heard your story before
Tell me something new that's what i'm waiting for
It doesn't matter to me
'cause there's a train comin' into the station
But it's headin' for a new destination
And i tell you my friend you better count me in
Listen comrade i don't care
If you ever change your underwear
It doesn't matter to me

Got an urge got a surge
And it's out of control
Got an urge i wanna purge
'cause i'm losing control
Uncontrollable urge
I wanna tell you all about it

Makes me scream and shout it
It's got style it's got class
So strong i can't let it pass
I gotta tell you all about it
I gotta scream and shout it
And i say yeah

13. _ Jerkin' Back 'n' Forth
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 got me searchin' down low
You got me i know you know
You got me jerkin' back 'n' forth
You told me people like to suffer
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

14. _ (i Can't Get No) Satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get me no satisfaction
And i try and i try and i try t-t-t-t-try try
I can't get no i can't get me no
When i'm riding in my car
And a man comes on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no uh no no no
Hey hey hey that's what i say
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get me no girly action
When i'm watchin' my tv
And a man comes on to tell me
How white my shirts could me
But he can't be a man 'cause he does not smoke
The same cigarettes as me
And when i'm flying around the world
And i'm doin' this and i'm tryin' do that
And i'm trying to make some girl
Tells me baby better come back later next week
Can't you see i'm on a losing streak

15. _ Somewhere With Devo
Shout shout
I'm shoutin' about the world outside
I'm shoutin' because you just can't hide
I'm shoutin' from the plain honest truth
I'm shoutin' there's so much we could do
Shout i'm shoutin'
And when you put it all together
And when you roll it in a ball
And when you watch another pyramid
As it's about to fall
Remember you were there
Remember if you care
All those who held their ground
When it all came down
Said shout shout
Shout well baby this one's for you
Shout for everything that you do
Shout until the battle is won
Shout we'll live to fight on and on
Are you ready?
Are you ready for inspection?
He's ready to die!
There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere
There's a time for us
Somewhere a time for us
Time together and time to spend
Time to look time to care
Somewhere someday
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere someday
There's a place for us
A time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're half-way there
Hold my hand and i'll take you there
Somehow someday somewhere
(the femmes devo)
I'm a disco dancer
But i've got no place to go
(i'm a disco boy i'm a disco boy)
I'm a disco dancer baby
But my feet won't touch the floor
(i'm a disco boy i'm a disco boy)
Oh no
I've been sleeping twenty years or more
I remember long time ago
(i'm a disco boy i'm a disco boy)
Nya nya nya nya
Now i'm back to change your mind
Now i'm moving right in time
In a world that's turned unkind
I see what's going on behind my back
I'm a disco dancer
And i keep dancin' on and on
(i'm a disco boy i'm a disco boy)
Oh no
I'm a disco dancer baby
But i think that something's wrong
