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. The band had a No. 14 Billboard chart hit in 1980 with the single "Whip It", and has maintained a cult following throughout its existence. Their style over time has shifted between punk, art rock, post-punk, and New Wave. Their music and stage show mingle kitsch science fiction themes, deadpan surrealist humor, and mordantly satirical social commentary. Their often discordant pop songs feature unusual synthetic instrumentation and time signatures that have proven influ… more »

Listen up y'all
It's D-E-V-O

They say the night time is the right time
So now it's high time to choose your destiny
Take a hard line, let some fur fly
Learn to stay high above the stormy sea

They say the new age is the big rage
And the next stage will bring us to the edge
Now escape from your golden cage
Then turn the page on the demons in your head

You gotta step up
Get to the bottom of it
Dig deep and go behind the scenes
You gotta step up
And get to the bottom of it
Go deep, show 'em what it means
You gotta step up
Pull down and take a number
Hold firm, nip it in the bud
You gotta step up
Pull down and take a number
Be firm, figure out what's what
Step up

They say the right time is the night time
So it's about time to do what you please
Avoid the drive-by grip tight and steer right
Into some fine wine 'til you're buzzed and feelin' free

It's not over 'til the cows come home
It's not over 'til the fat lady sings
It's never too late to grab some gold
It's never too late to shake that thing

Let's go through this again
So you gotta step up
Get to the bottom of it
Dig deep and go behind the scenes
You gotta step up
Get to the bottom of it
Go deep, show 'em what it means
You gotta step up
Pull down and take a number
Hold firm, nip it in the bud
You gotta step up
Pull down and take a number
Be firm, figure out what's what
Step up
