Devo ( /ˈdiːvoʊ/, originally /diːˈvoʊ/) is an American punk rock/New Wave band formed in 1972 consisting of members from Kent and Akron, Ohio. The classic line-up of the band includes two sets of brothers, the Mothersbaughs (Mark and Bob) and the Casales (Gerald and Bob), along with Alan Myers.

When love takes a back seat to life 
When a man runs away from his wife 
That's when you know 
He's in the world 

When a guy tries to round up his mate 
But she's gone and it's gettin' too late 
That's when you know 
He lost his girl 

[Chorus]
So it happens 
All the time 
Don't get low 
Just stand in line 
Take your turn 
Now make your move 
And crush that doubt 
With a ton o' love

When woman takes a back seat to man 
She has to tell him where to go if she can 
And she decides 
To wear his ring 

[Chorus] 

Find a girl with the face of a clock 
Hands move forward 'til you can't stop 
She comes from above 
With a ton o' love [Repeat: x12]
