Artist/Band: Devo
Lyrics for Song: Don't Shoot
Lyrics for Album: 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'


Don't Shoot

Devo's "Don't Shoot" serves as a standout track from their 2010 compilation "Something for Everybody," showcasing the band's enduring commitment to their unique brand of new wave and electronic music. The song encapsulates the group's signature style, characterized by robotic vocals, repetitive rhythms, and satirical lyrics that critique societal norms and consumer culture. Released decades after their initial breakthrough, the recording highlights Devo's ability to maintain their distinct sonic identity while engaging with contemporary audiences. As part of their extensive discography, the track reflects the band's evolution without compromising their core aesthetic, offering a glimpse into their continued relevance in the music landscape through a lens of irony and electronic experimentation.
