Disco Dancer Lyrics

i'm a disco dancer
but i've got no place to go
(i'm a disco boy i'm a disco boy)
im a disco dancer baby
but my feet wont touch the floor
(im a disco boy im a disco boy)
oh no
i've been sleeping twenty years or more
I remember a long time ago
(im a disco boy im a disco boy)
nya nya nya nya
now im back to change your mind
now im moving right in time
in a world that's turned unkind
I see what's going on behind my back
im a disco dancer
I keep dancin' on and on
(im a disco boy im a disco boy)
oh no
im a disco dancer baby
but I think that something's wrong

Cover art for Disco Dancer lyrics by Devo

This song was inspired by an Indian song whose English refrain was something like "I am a disco - I am a disco."

I think it's basically about being an apolitical clubgoer/young person, then suddenly realizing all the crap that's been going on while you were "out." Or, you know, it could be about time travel - this is Devo after all.
