Devo (or what's left of it, grizzled and still holding on) sing "Jocko Homo" and "Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA" at the Gates of Steel, New York, NY on May 18, 2022. Filmed at The Rooftop at Pier 17. The music is tighter if the animatronic performers are sagging a bit.
Ohio must be a toxic place, full of environmental hazards that cause Parkinson's disease, autism, Alzheimer's, spectrum disorders of all kinds, lack of dopamine, too many brain lesions. Or maybe it was all the (agglutinizing) potatoes? Leave off the belladonna plants like tomatoes and other heavily marketed nightshade family members.

LYRICS: "Jocko Homo"
They tell us that we lost our tails
Evolving up from little snails
I say it's all just wind in sails
[Chorus]
Are we not men? We are Devo!
Are we not men? D-E-V-O!
We're pinheads now
We are not whole
We're pinheads all
Jocko Homo
[Chorus]
Monkey men all in business suits
Teachers and critics all dance the poot
[Chorus]
[I practice like a gorilla?
What's O in the end
But high in the middle?
O-HI-O!]
All together now:
God made man
But he used a 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 monkey do
God made man
But a monkey supplied the glue
Are we not men? We are Devo!
We must repeat: D-E-V-O
We must repeat: Okay let's go!
"Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA"
[Mark Mothersbaugh]
[Gerald Casale]
[Bob Mothersbaugh]
(He's been with the world)
I'm tired of the soup du jour
(He's been with the world)
I wanna end this prophylactic tour
Afraid that no one around me
Understands my potato
Think I'm only a spud boy
Looking for a real tomato
[Chorus]
We're Smart Patrol, nowhere to go
Suburban robots that monitor reality
Common stock, we work around the clock
We shove the poles in the holes (Shove it)
[Mr. DNA]
Wait a minute, something's wrong
He's a man with a plan
He's here to do us a favor
A little human sacrifice
It's just supply and demand
Mr. Kamikaze, Mr. DNA
He's an altruistic pervert, Mr. DNA
Mr. Kamikaze, here to spread some genes
Mr. Kamikaze, Mr. DNA
He's an altruistic pervert, Mr. DNA
Mr. Kamikaze, here to spread some genes
Mr. Kamikaze, Mr. DNA
He's an altruistic pervert, Mr. DNA
Mr. Kamikaze, here to spread some-
Wait a minute, something's wrong
He's a man with a plan
His finger's pointed at Devo
Now we must sacrifice ourselves
So many others may live
Oh baby we got a lot to give
This monkey wants a word with you!
Mr. Kamikaze, Mr. DNA
He's an altruistic pervert, Mr. DNA
Mr. Kamikaze, here to spread some genes now
One, two, three, four
