Devo Tribute EP

 Mongoloid

Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid happier than you and me
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid and it determined what he could see
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid one chromosome too many
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid and it determined what he could see
And he wore a hat and he had a job
And he brought home the bacon so that no one knew

He was a mongoloid, mongoloid his friends were unaware
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid nobody even cared
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid one chromosome too many
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid and it determined what he could see
And he wore a hat and he had a job
And he brought home the bacon so that no one knew

He was a mongoloid, mongoloid happier than you and me
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid and it determined what he could see
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid one chromosome too many
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid and it determined what he could see
And he wore a hat and he had a job
And he brought home the bacon so that no one knew
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid

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 are we not men D-E-V-O
We're pinheads now we are not whole we're pinheads all Jocko Homo
Are we not men We are Devo are we not men D-E-V-O are we not pins We are Devo

Monkey men all in business suits
Teachers and critics all dance the poot
Are we not men We are Devo are we not men D-E-V-O
Are we not pins We are Devo are we not men D-E-V-O

I got a rhyme that comes in a riddle OHIO
What's round on the end and high in the middle OHIO
Together now, God made man but he used a 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 do
God made man but a monkey supplied the glue
Are we not men We are Devo
Are we not men We are Devo
We must repeat D-E-V-O
We must repeat D-E-V-O
We must repeat Okay, let's go

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 whip it good!

Freedom Of Choice

A victim of collision on the open sea nobody ever said that life was free
Sank, swam, go down with the ship but use your freedom of choice
I'll say it again in the land of the free use your freedom of choice
In ancient Rome here was a poem about a dog who found two bones
He picked at one he licked the other he went in circles he dropped dead
Freedom of choice is what you got
Freedom of choice! is what you want!

Then if you got it you don't want it seems to be the rule of thumb
Don't be tricked by what you see you got two ways to go
I'll say it again in the land of the free use your freedom of choice
Freedom of choice freedom of choice is what you got freedom of choice!
In ancient Rome here was a poem about a dog who found two bones
He picked at one he licked the other he went in circles he dropped dead
Freedom of choice is what you got
Freedom of choice! is what you want!

Space Girl Blues

Space girls are as cold as ice
They'll kiss you once and kiss you twice
You'll shiver and shake and then turn blue
Next you got the space girl blues
I want your mechanism
Give me your mechanism

Space girls always smoke for taste swallow butts and leave no waste
Sado-maso is the rule you want them they don't want you
Just to show that they don't care they'll bite your face and burn the hair
The sun comes up the moon boo-hoos now you got the space girl blues
I need your mechanism
Destroy your mechanism
Destroy it

Secret Agent Man

You know I live a life of danger for the FBI
Keeping tabs on our nation on the land, on the sea, in the sky
But every single night before I go to bed
I get down on my knees and thank God I'm a secret agent man
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given me a number but they've taken away my name

I got one hell of a job to perform for the U.S. of A
Got the responsibility of our nation's top security
But every night and day, I salute the flag and say,
"Thank you, Jesus," 'cause I'm a secret agent man
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given me a number but they've taken away my name

You know they got me doing this, doing that
And a little bit of something else
Fighting cavities of evil and safeguarding America's health
But not an afternoon passes I don't get up off my ass
Thank you, God, because I'm  a secret agent man
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given me a number but they've taken away my name
Because I'm a secret agent man
