EVERYBODY IT'S A GOOD THING
EVERYBODY WANTS A GOOD THING
EVERYBODY AIN'T IT TRUE THAT
EVERYBODY'S LOOKING FOR THE SAME THING
AIN'T IT TRUE THERE'S JUST NO DOUBT
THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT YOU CAN'T DO WITHOUT
AND THAT'S GOOD
AIN'T IT TRUE AS THE SUN THAT SHINES
YOU GOT YOURS AND YOU GOT MINE
AND THAT'S GOOD
EVERYBODY'S JUST LIKE YOU IT'S TRUE
EVERYBODY WANTS A GOOD THING TOO
NOW LET'S HAVE A GREAT BIG HAND
FOR EVERYBODY WHO CAN UNDERSTAND
LIFE'S A BEE WITHOUT A BUZZ
IT'S GOING GREAT TILL YOU GET STUNG
AND LET US NOT FORGET TO TOAST
EVERYONE WHO MIGHT HAVE MISSED THE BOAT
AND TO EVERYBODY ELSE WHO WAITS
UNTIL THE NEXT ONE SAILS IN AGAIN
EVERYBODY IT'S A GOOD THING
AIN'T IT TRUE IT'S A MONUMENTAL GOOD THING
Il tuo voto:
twist away the gates of steel
unlock the secret voice
give in to ancient noise
take a chance a brand new dance
twist away the gates of steel

twist away
now twist and shout
the earth it moves too slow
but the earth is all we know
we pay to play the human way
twist away the gates of steel

a man is real
not made of steel

but the earth is all we know
we pay to play the human way
twist away the gates of steel

the beginning was the end
of everything now
the ape regards his tail
he's stuck on it
repeats until he fails
half a goon and half a god
a man's not made of steel

twist away
now twist and shout
the earth it moves too slow
but the earth is all we know
we pay to play the human way
twist away the gates of steel

a man is real that's how he feels
Il tuo voto:
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
Your freedom of choice

In ancient Rome
There 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
There 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 from choice
Is what you want
(repeat)
Il tuo voto:
JONEE WENT TO THE PAWNSHOP
BOUGHT HIMSELF A GUITAR
NOW HE'S GONNA GO FAR
YOU GOTTA LOVE 'EM AND LEAVE 'EM
SOMETIMES YOU DECEIVE 'EM
YOU MADE HER CRY
JONEE YOU'RE BAD
YOU'RE GONNA MAKE HER SAD
JONEE JUMPED IN HIS DATSUN
DROVE OUT ON THE EXPRESSWAY
WENT HEAD-ON INTO A SEMI
HIS GUITAR IS ALL THAT'S LEFT NOW
HE MADE HER CRY
NOW SHE CALLS HIS NAME
JONEE YOU'RE TO BLAME
Il tuo voto:
She sings from somewhere you can't see
she sits in the top of the greenest tree
she sends out an aroma of undefined love
it drips on down in a mist from above

she's just the girl, just the girl
that u want
she's just the girl, just the girl
that u want

you hear her calling everywhere you turn
you know you're headed for the pleasure burn
but the words get stuck on the tip of your tongue
she's the real thing but you knew it all along

she's just the girl, just the girl
that u want
she's just the girl, just the girl
that u want

look at you with your mouth watering
look at you with your mind spining
why don't we just admit it's all over
just the girl u want

she's just the girl, just the girl
that u want
she's just the girl, just the girl
that u want

she sings from somewhere you can't see
she sits in the top of the greenest tree
she sends out an aroma of undefined lust
it drips on down in a mist from above

she's just the girl, just the girl
that u want
she's just the girl, just the girl
that u want

look at you with your mouth watering
look at you with your mind spinnin'
why don't we just admit it's all over
just the girl u want

she's just the girl, just the girl
that u want
she's just the girl, just the girl
that u want
she's just the girl, just the girl
that u want
she's just the girl, just the girl
Il tuo voto:
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 their way, (until they whip it)
i say whip it
whip it good!

i say whip it
whip it good!

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
MONGOLOID, MONGOLOID
HIS FRIENDS WERE UNAWARE
MONGOLOID, 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

FLAT TOP
STARES STRAIGHT AHEAD
STOCK PARTS

STANDS UP ON HIS OWN
HE IS A BLOCKHEAD
THINKING MAN FULL GROWN
HE COMES WELL PREPARED
SNAKE EYES
Il tuo voto:
They tell us that
We lost our tails
Evolving up
From little snails
I say it's all
Just wind and sails
Are we not men?
We are Devo!
Are we not men?
D-E-V-O!

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 pinheads?
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

God made man
but he used the 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
do what monkey do
God made man
but monkey supplied the glue

Are we not men?
We are Devo!
Are we not men?
D-E-V-O

We must repeat!
We are Devo!
We must repeat!
D-E-V-O

Okay! Let's go!

Some versions of this song include a second bridge:

I got a rhyme that comes in a riddle
O-Hi-O
What's round on the end and high in the middle?
O-Hi-O
Il tuo voto:
HE'S BEEN WITH THE WORLD
AND I'M TIRED OF THE SOUP DU JOUR
HE'S BEEN WITH THE WORLD
I WANNA END THIS PROPHYLACTIC TOUR
AFRAID NOBODY AROUND HERE
UNDERSTANDS MY POTATO
GUESS I'M ONLY A SPUDBOY
LOOKING FOR A REAL TOMATO
WE'RE THE SMART PATROL
NOWHERE TO GO
SUBURBAN ROBOTS THAT MONITOR REALITY
COMMON STOCK
WE WORK AROUND THE CLOCK
WE SHOVE THE POLES IN THE HOLES

WAIT A MINUTE
SOMETHING'S WRONG
HE'S THE MAN FROM THE PAST
HE'S HERE TO DO US A FAVOR
A LITTLE HUMAN SACRIFICE
IT'S JUST SUPPLY AND DEMAND
MR. KAMIKAZI MR. DNA
HE'S AN ALTRUISTIC PERVERT
MR. DNA MR. KAMIKAZI
HE'S HERE TO SPREAD SOME GENES
WAIT A MINUTE
SOMETHING'S WRONG
HE'S A MAN WITH A PLAN
HIS FINGER IS POINTED AT DEVO
NOW WE MUST SACRIFICE OURSELVES
THAT MANY OTHERS MAY LIVE
OK WE'VE GOT A LOT TO GIVE
THIS MONKEY WANTS A WORD WITH YOU
