Devo - Nu-Tra Speaks (New Traditionalist Man) lyrics

Greetings beautiful mutants
And how may we be of service?
This is Nu Tra for Devo Incorporated
Checking in with the many factions
Of devolutionary humans who have waited
So faithfully this past year
While Devo gathered it's strength
For the next offensive

As many of you can see
The road ahead is filled with danger it's not
Nuclear bombs we must fear, but the human
Mind it'self, or lack of it
On this planet it's
Time to go beyond the normal thing it's time
To do the super thing it's time for
Devo, there's no question about
It the spudboys
Are ready with new songs, new films
And new approaches to survival in
A world ruled by subhumans



Lies, lies
Lies: that's all we get from those who
Pretend to know but don't but once
Again, Devo attempts to cut
Through the mental grease
And grime with techniques
Of positive mutation
Designed to protect you from the
Ninnies and the twit's

Remember: no one knows
So let's find out devo asks
The questions that help
Point us all in the right direction
To go forward, move ahead
And give the past the slip
It's time to seek out new traditions we
Know where the old ones took us
And now we are all here together

So lets go take in the full
Measure of Devo's new traditionalist spirit
The vinyl record and cassette tape
Of Devo's latest musical outpourings
Is entitled simply "New
Traditionalists" to purchase
It is not like spending
Money, but rather it is an
Investment in the future
In a blow against the empire
This is Nu Tra for Devo
Incorporated saying bombs away
