Devo Hardcore Vol 1 1974-77 Lyrics
1.I Can't Get No Satisfaction

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get me no satisfaction
And i try and i try and i try t-t-t-t-try try
I can't get no i can't get me no
When i'm riding in my car
And a man comes on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no uh no no no
Hey hey hey that's what i say
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get me no girly action
When i'm watchin' my tv
And a man comes on to tell me
How white my shirts could me
But he can't be a man 'cause he does not smoke
The same cigarettes as me
And when i'm flying around the world
And i'm doin' this and i'm tryin' do that
And i'm trying to make some girl
Tells me baby better come back later next week
Can't you see i'm on a losing streak


2.Auto Modown

Auto modown
Down in youngstown
Bodies in the street
Auto mowdown
Noon in downtown
Bodies with no feet
Auto mowdown
Down in youngstown
Bodies got de'blues
Auto mowdown
Noon in downtown
Bodies with no shoes
An acidhead goon in a 55 dodge
Didn't mean to do it
But a sidewalk run in the noonday sun
Ten to one he had to lose it


3.Buttered Beauties

The first time i saw you
I knew there would be no other
That tingle told me
We were meant for one another
I'm calling you
1-2-3
Buttered beauties of the negroid north
Spread your glossy tallow on me
Oiled wonder of the midnight forest
Toss down your web on me
She's got me by the tether
(sticking it out)
In simultated leather
(sticking it out)
I think she broke my tether
C'mon keep on comin' on now


4.Golden Energy

Golden energy
For the guy or gal
Whose had a hard hard day
Golden energy
To help you meet the demands
Of an energetic mate
Or a red hot date
Golden energy dripping down on you
Golden energy
Natural aphrodisiac
Golden energy
Working hard to keep you on full
Pumping iron all the way
Keeps you from being too
Too tired

Rootin bootin sure fired
Golden energy meets all requirements
Posts no bills
Poots no guff
Needs no prescriptions
Golden energy handle if you care
If you dare
Help yourself to another share


5.I'm A Potato

Supermarket flashbacks
Show arms and legs in plastic sacks
Fat men twelve bananas high
Die while all the women cry
Love-love gets sucked away
On big fat lips while people pray
Boy plus girl make mess out of sex
No babies come
What happens next
De-evolution self-execution no-solution
I'm a potato and i'm so hip
Teenage hoodlums stand in line
Donate blood to pay for crime
Butchers steal doctor's tools
Sow pretty heads on dogs and mules
Hi-fi systems men in pairs
Tape bodies falling down the stairs
Father-son teams split the cost of nighttime girls but all is
lost
To de-evolution self-execution
No-solution
I'm a spudman i got eyes all around
Martian feet turn dirt and stone
For buried treasure human bone
Madison men tattoo ads on
Ten year olds with sucker pads
Rockets rust attack decay things
Fall apart while spacemen play
Now daddy zero drops his brown
Godowngodowngodown
To de-evolution self-execution
No-solution
I'm a spudgun i'd like to shoot'em all!!


6.Jocko Homo

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!
We're pinheads now
We are not whole
We're pinheads all
Jocko homo
Are we not men?
D-e-v-o
Monkey men all
In business suit
Teachers and critics
All dance the poot
Are we not men?
We are devo!
Are we not men?
D-e-v-o
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
I can do what a monkey can do
God made man
But a monkey supplied the glue
We must repeat
O.k. let's go!

8.Midget

I had the body of a two and a half
Year old baby
I had the brain of a man
I used to play underneath my momma's skirts
All day
I parked my car in her garage
She didn't know i was a midget
She thought it was all innocent play
She didn't know i was a midget
But when dad came home she put me away


9.Mongoloid

Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
Happier than you and me
Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
And it determined what he could see
Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
One chromosome too many
Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
And it determined what he could see
And he wore a hat
And he had a job
And he brought home the bacon
So that no one knew
Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
His friends were unaware
Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
Nobody even cared

11.S00 Bawls

Pretty little mongo
Everybody wants her toilet
Same old story
She won't let nobody near it
The way she teases them
It's such a shame
She's got all the huboons
Crying out her name
Soo bawls soo bawls
She's got em howling
She's got em growling
Soo bawls soo bawls
She's got em going clean out of their minds
Soo bawls soo bawls
There ain't a man in town who wouldn't
Have her for his daughter
Theys all trade their brains for
One taste of her toilet water
1-2-3-4 tell the people what she wore
They're all trying hard to call her up
But her phone's been disconnected
Since she sold her butt


12.Social Fools

If you obey society's rules
You will be society's fools
You'll obey and then disobey
You'll disobey but then you'll obey
You thought your mom and dad were fools
You never wanted to listen in school
Now your mind won't go where you want to take it
You got a ride but you're not gonna make it

You'll never catch up!
Dad. pass the catsup!
Clean that mess up! listen up!

If you obey society's fools
You'll be society's tools
And you'll obey and then disobey
You'll disobey but then you'll obey
You thought your mom and dad were queer
You always wanted egg in your beer
Now your dog won't go
When you try to make it
He's got a bone but he's not gonna shake it

If you take society's tools
You will make society's rules
Which you'll obey and then disobey
You'll disobey but then you'll obey

That's all for now
That's all we know
This is the end


13.Space Girl Blues

Space girls are as cold as ice
They'll kiss you once and kiss you twice
You'll shiver and shake and then turn blue
Next you got the space girl blues
I want your mechanism
Give me your mechanism
Space girls always smoke for taste
Swallow butts and leave no waste
Just to show that they don't care
They'll bite your face and burn the hair
Sado-maso is the rule
You want them they don't want you
The sun comes up the moon boo-hoos
Next you got the spacegirl blues
I need your mechanism
Destroy your mechanism
Destroy it!!


14.Stop Look And Listen

I hear em comin can u hear em comin?
I see em comin can u see em comin?
I feel em comin gonna mess up the plumbing
It's d-e-v-o from o-h-i-o
It's d-e-v-o from o-h-i-o
I hear em comin can you see em comin?
I see em comin can you feel em comin?
Well keep on twitching
Gonna mutate the system


15.Uglatto

You ooh ooh another hairdo mobutu shoes
This roman nose
Your're uglatto
You grin like a star
The grille of a car
Fat oldsmobilo
A puffed potato
This roman say ugh-latto
You a bad tomato speak esperanto
So desperato and constipato
This roman nose
You're uglatto
Why do you wiggle so you make me
Want to ho ho in front of people
You are so uglatto
