Don't Shoot

Devo · Something for Everybody [2010]

I get up every day

It's a miracle, I'm told

Somehow I live to work

So I hit the road



Squeeze into my hybrid car

Drive as fast as I can

While I scan the rooftops

Yeah, I scan the rooftops



Don't shoot

I'm a man

Don't shoot

I'm a man



I live in every city

All around the world

Sometimes it's way too hot

Sometimes it's friggin' cold



One thing's always the same

No matter what they say

There's way too many problems

Way, way too many problems



Don't shoot

I'm a man

Don't shoot

I'm a man



You wish you were swinging from the trees

You wish you were slicing through the breeze

You wish you were king or queen

You wish you'd hit the lottery



But wishing is for chumps

High hoping is for fools



They'll hunt you down

And taze you, bro

For playing with the rules



Don't shoot

I'm a man

Don't shoot

I'm a man



I've got a big dilemma

To punt or go for broke

It's got me going sleepless

I'm about to choke



So let me ask you something

Answer if you can

Think before you answer

There is no correct answer



So don't Shoot

I'm a man

Don't Shoot

I'm a man



Don't taze me, bro'

Don't taze me, bro'

Don't taze me, bro'

Don't taze me, bro'
