Devo

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.

I used to be a prickly guy
Bursting everybody's bubble
Don't ask me why
I didn't care
I was keepin' busy
Scratchin' to the top
I just couldn't stop
I never took the time to 
Pick up what I dropped
I just couldn't stop
I just couldn't stop
(but then something happened)

Thanks to you!
What do I do?
You cut me down
A size or two
Well, I never knew
Now I owe everything to you
I was riding real high
Stepping over bodies
Making people crackers
I didn't care
I never heard a word 
When people were talking
I didn't have the time
(Everbody's talking now)
(Saying nothing, huffing, puffing)
(Gentlemen, let me tell you something) (Listen, let me tell you something)

Thanks to you!
What do I see?
It's more than writing in front of me
Thanks to you!
How could it be?
It took you to make a fool out of me
Thanks to you!
What do I do?
You cut me down
A size or two
Well, I never knew
Now I owe everything to you
Thanks to you!
Thanks to you!
Thanks to you!
