Lyrics

Jocko Homo (Single Version)

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've got a rhyme that comes in a riddle!

O-HI-O!

What's round on the end, high in the middle?

O-HI-O!

(All together now)

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 a monkey supplied the glue

Are we not men?

We are Devo!

Are we not men?

We are Devo!

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!

D-E-V-O!

We must repeat!

D-E-V-O!

We must repeat!

D-E-V-O!

We must repeat!

D-E-V-O!

We must repeat!

D-E-V-O!

We must repeat!

Ok lets go!
