Mecha-Mania Boy Devo

This is the boy who burns the books
This is the way he always looks
This is the boy who smashed his car
This is the boy who went too far

Washed his eyes with yellow soap
He stole his daddy's microscope

All alone, or in a crowd
Never say his name aloud
Now he wants to know your human's name
Where you go, and whence you came
He's the mecha-mania boy

This is the boy who never goes slow
He is the one who destroys his young
Oh, no
Everybody has a new way to go

All alone or on the telephone
He knows the time you spend at home
Oh, no
Never say I didn't tell you so

Washed his hands of his daddy's fate
He put himself in an alternate state
