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 its 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 itself
(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 is no question about it
the spud boys are ready with new songs new films
and new approaches to survival in a world filled with 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 twits

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 let's 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!
