Devo Nu-tra Speaks (new Traditionalist Man) Lyrics

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 one's 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'
