I have always thought this song is poignant for some reason. Maybe its the chord progression, or the robotic-yet-moody synth tones, or the fact that Devo were pretty much right on about the theory of devolution. Is there some kind of positive call to action in this song? It seems to start and end that way, with a comment on modernist apocalyptic subversion occupying the entire middle, punctuated with the alternate voice blurting "A man is real, not made of steel." (sigh)
