Jocko Homo
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
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
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 pinheads?
We are devo!
(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
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
Okay lets go!
