| Devo – I'm A Potato Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Be like the all-seeing potato, with eyes all around. | |
| Devo – Speed Racer Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song cracks me up, the way they change their voices in a light-hearted way, like a childrens cartoon, but it's....dark. | |
| Devo – Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Okay, the whole song is a battle. A battle between The Smart Patrol and Mr. DNA. Mr. DNA is trying to spread his genes...and Smart Patrol is trying to stop him. They end up sacrificing themselves for DEVO. Make what you will of the song. |

| Devo – Race Of Doom Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Jebus....another difficult to read transition of lyrics by bouncing soles. Race of doom Is it on Is it off Reply It’s a matter of time It’s a matter of luck It’s a factor of chance ’til I self-destruct You fire at random I’m under attack Strapped in and freewheeling Flying off the track I want to be your time bomb Let me be your time bomb baby I want to be your time bomb Please let me be your time bomb baby Everywhere there is danger Absolutely for real Subliminal feelings Too strong to conceal Unscramble your program My turn to unload Unbelievably certain Guaranteed to explode I like that the title is called "Race of Doom", but it has this really...."game"showey" feel towards the start, but the instrumentals develope a dark side... |

| Devo – Post Post-Modern Man Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I always thought this song was about a guy who didn't have a lot of talent, or a lot of money, but is doing everything he can to get close to the girl he loves. | |
| Devo – Penetration In The Centerfold Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Surprise! This song is told from the vantage of guys totally obsessed with Pornography! Nothing more, nothing less. | |
| Devo – Mongoloid Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Permanentlapse is right. "Mongoloid" was once a well-known term for describing someone with down-syndrome. I also agree with how he describes it. |

| Devo – Whip It Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
It's an alright song, even though everyone's always looking for hidden meanings and things that are supposed to means something when they don't and they're not. Whip It is NOT about masturbation, or S&M. Watch the video, hear what Mark has to say about where he got the idea. |

| Devo – Gut Feeling/(Slap Your Mammy) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
WHy are all these songs with such god-awful written-lyrics? Jesus christ, that bouncing soles character ain't never heard of grammar? Whatever, good song. |
|
| Devo – Devo Has Feelings Too Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Probably DEVO's most "punk" and 'plain' song. It's also one of their best. Whoever says Smooth Noodle Maps is a bad album should be shot....................full of happiness! | |
| Devo – Cold War Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Wow....these lyrics are so fucking jumbled it's pathetic. This is a good song, the way Mark (or Jerry, whoever) sings it is what makes it so clever. |
|
| Devo – Buttered Beauties Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
To d lacy, DEVO never got wrapped up in anything. They did their own thing. THey didn't overmarket Whip It, it recieved heavy rotation on an early MTV because of a simple lack of video's at the time. I actually don't like this song, however. THe lyrics are cryptic, and the song itself just ain't there. |
|
| Devo – Beautiful World Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The song itself is kinda cute when you first hear it for the first time. Then you hear the "but not for me", and you start to think. It still has that hilarious biting irony DEVO will always have, but has a very serious side. Then when you watch the video progress into progressively more violent and shocking images (KKK groups, police beatings, riots, famine, etc), you get an utter chill at "but not for me", and you do much more than think. I know I did. |

| Devo – Bamboo Bimbo Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Potentially my least favorite song....it was on Hardcore DEVO, and it's downright plain when compared to other stuff. But it's kinda funny, too. Might be offensive to some, but then again DEVO never cared what you thought. |
