Hubert House Lyrics

She was bone thin
And her skin was cracked
She was a fifty-cent dog

Gonna beat you up
Gonna fuck you 'til you're raw
Cause you may look good
But your momma's just a ma

Kids better listen' (?)
Down in hubert house
I know where you are

Gonna beat you up
Gonna fuck you 'til you're raw
Cause you may look good
But your momma's just a ma

I run a clean little shelter
Where I keep all the cats and dogs
Its survival of the fittest

Gonna beat you up
Fist fuck you 'til you're raw
Cause you may look good
But your momma's just a ma

Kids better listen' (?)
Down in hubert house
I know where you are

Gonna beat you up
Fist fuck you 'til you're raw
Cause you may look good
But your momma's just a ma

Eight for you
Eight for you
Eight for you
Eight for you

Cover art for Hubert House lyrics by Devo

Personally, I only recently realized the meaning of this song.

Its about an animal shelter, of course.

Our first subject is a "bone-thin", "cracked skin" 50-cent dog, obviously undesirable.

The "it's survival of the fittest" is obviously natural selection, but then I got to thinking: what is natural selection? The most desirable survive, and the others die off, which should increase the overall quality of the population.

Now, think about an animal shelter. The most desirable animals are taken home and adopted by people visiting the shelter, leaving the most undesirable there. So, in animal shelters, the least fit survive, leading to the opposite of evolution (de-evolution).
