Devo - Here To Go Lyrics






If you smell the smoke
You don't need to be told
What you got to do
Yet there's a certain breed
So very in-between
They'd rather take a vote
Running short on time
Til they can't decide
What we already know
That we are here to go
We are here to go

What is really mine?
Who's at the top of the pile?
Where does he draw the line?
Let them figure it out
Go on and step across
Just remind yourself
That we are here to go

When it grows too long
The day awaits the dawn
The hand that bites gets fed
Troubles multiply
The crowd begins to cry
For some common sense
Let them all dig in
When the odds are no-win
Head for the nearest door
Cause we are here to go

What is really mine?
Who's at the top of the pile?
Where does he draw the line?
Let them figure it out
Go on and step across
Just remind yourself
That we are here to go

Devo Here To Go Comments
  1. J.... D....

    So much for no devo December

  2. T.... W....

    I would make the dj bill play this as the last song at confetti in Dallas .lol good old days 1986?

  3. C.... B....

    The boys from Akron are technically brilliant and creative.
    They played a big role in defining the 80's sound.

  4. T.... P....

    this was bad. This song is a disappointment. It's like a burnout moment for them in creativity. just a lot of sampling and sound patch mixing.

  5. S.... t....

    Now I finally know where that "Go" is from!

    S.... t....

    where else did you hear it?

    S.... t....

    I honestly can't remember, but it was instantly recognizable.

    S.... t....

    OMD 'Tesla Girls'? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH7MwYBdSvM OK, it's not the same, but similar use of 'go'.

  6. C.... H....

    I don't think I've ever seen this much weirdness compiled into one video before. Well done.

  7. M.... T....

    Next year Will be DEVO s 40 year Anniversary of Freedom Of Choice hopefully a New Album and World Tour starting in Hartford Connecticut to China

  8. E.... C....

    JOCKO HOMO/ DEVO has ALWAYS RULED !!!

  9. M.... T....

  10. M.... T....

    Next year Will be DEVO s 40th year Anniversary of Freedom of Choice hopefully a New Album and World Tour starting in Hartford Connecticut to China

    DEVO The Next Future Legend's Please Vote them in Thank You

  12. j.... y....

    I met a girl who went.

  13. J.... J....

    3:27 makes you think, Jimi Hendrix has been dead a little over decade by 1984, he died in 1970, yet in just 14 years music under went three different musical styles! The Beatles were rocking baby boomers in 1970, while Duran Duran were rocking Gen X in the mid 80s! Music hasn’t changed since 2008, it’s all be garbage!

  14. N.... M....

    Jimmy Hendrix gets out of his coffin and starts jamming. These guys had the best sense of humor.

  15. A.... ....

    I still have my prized WEA 12 inch to this which I specially ordered from the States when I was 14 years old. This was the greatest DEVO song. To this day, February 15, 2019, I want to be a member of the band hammering the incredible beat to this masterpiece on the bass stick and stamping the floor at the same time...

  16. T.... T....

    I bought the 12 inch single of this song back in the day - still have it.

    T.... T....

    I like The Art Cover of the
    Young Super Men
    They Must took the super
    Vitamin Pill invented by
    The Three Stooges !

  17. B.... C....

    All my Favorites

  18. s.... s....

    Damn, weirdest video ever. I love it. Jimi Hendrix rises from the grave, haha. I have been listening to this song since it came out, and never bothered to look on youtube. :)

    s.... s....

    Well, it's just made up of footage from their other videos (but official).

    s.... s....

    Are you experienced ?

  19. L.... ....

    Yes theyre taking thepiss, fine..it's time to DEVO!!

  20. G.... ....

    What about this is ahead of time? It's ok but it sounds like it was made in 1984 - Thomas Dolby was doing it better by this point.

    G.... ....

    Heretic. You are not devo.

    G.... ....

    thumbs down

    G.... ....

    doll be is not moksha

  21. C.... P....

    Great rarity

  22. M.... R....

    a 1992 rave sound in an 1986 devo song :) yes devolution

  23. R.... A....

    I really dig this tune - I wonder if it is was a leftover from Oh No, It's Devo?

    R.... A....

    Ronald Albanese Umm, no. It’s from the album “Shout.”

    R.... A....

    @Zachary Morin It's the best song on the album.

  24. B.... W....

    this is mongoloid not here to go

    B.... W....

    Brett Wendel Hah, good one

  25. T.... T....

    good work on history if DEVO. like to see Jerry Casale. make new videos for some of this classic songs

  26. D.... B....

    0:34 When there are people walking too slowly in front of me

    D.... B....

    On their phones?

  27. A.... S....

    Coconuts night club Burnaby 1986ish

  28. D.... M....

    Yes fucking devo

  29. i.... m....

    Spudboys rule !! Akron Proud !

    i.... m....

    No way, I didn't know they were from Akron!

  30. b.... h....

    we are all here to go.

    b.... h....

    Now let's have a great big hand
    For everybody that can understand
    Life's a bee without a buzz
    It's going great 'til you get stung
    And let us not forget to toast
    Everyone who might've missed the boat
    And to everybody else who waits
    'til the next one sails in again

  31. B.... ....

    So good! So ahead of its time! Too bad "record" company dropped them after the release of SHOUT! Maybe reality is way to scary....DEVO is right. De-Evolution is very real & alive my friends.....Look around!

    B.... ....

    Bipbop66 I

    B.... ....

    shout ended up being the complete antithesis of what devo was about, which is incredibly ironic, good news is that they came to their senses though only after breaking up

    B.... ....

    The fuckin record company can suck on devo,,,s,!!!
    Ball,s,,,!!!!
    Fucking dum ass,s,!!!°■■■■

    B.... ....

    They didn't have many hits. Their music was too Weird for most people

    B.... ....

    Weird music is ALWAYS better than cookie-cutter, computer-generated iHeart Radio music. ;^)

  32. S.... S....

    i feel like one of the clips is from a speed racer music video by DEVO but i can seem to find it. Link anyone?

    S.... S....

    I don't think there was an actual video for Speed Racer, but they did have video clips that ran behind them on screens for that tour, including the ill-fated televised 3-DEVO show in 82...maybe you're thinking of that?

  33. p.... e....

    Absolutely awesome

  34. �.... ....

    Wow never even heard of this one, nice find!

    �.... ....

    @TheDreReichDude it's from the album Shout.... Great band.. lucky to have seen them twice...

    �.... ....

    @Stephen Black Ditto last time was a 2008 demo fund raiser DEVO, Chrissy Hind, the Black Keys and other Akronites at the Civic Theater. I think we were in about the second or third row....good times!!!!!!!!

    �.... ....

    You know it's funny how often this will come up in my rotation on full blast random. It's so funky and good from their Disco Dancer period and it's just all kinds of underrated. I feel like the movie Toys had to be written to this soundtrack.

    �.... ....

    never heard of this one? wow.....

    The little boy weirds me out! Good video though! I wonder what the videos for Shout would've looked like had the band not cancelled the tour and promotion?

    H.... R....

    HDM Reviews I never knew that the 84'-ish "SHOUT" Tour was cancelled, as well as pushing the promo's for the album release and subsequently a decent sized Tour to follow.

    Was this 'inside info' sort of? Or was this well known? I do recall that their label at that time, absolutely did DEVO no favors whatsoever. I think they were with WARNER BROS. if I remember correctly.

    Even trying to get in touch with their Fan Club was a complete hassle. I would have to believe that when the Ninnies and the Twits of the music industry want to make it tough on you, and they refuse to wash their brains, De-Evolution sadly can go into a dormant stage.

    So glad they are still doing their thing. 2 down, 3 still standing with STRENGTH ❗

    I AM D-E-V-O............................

    H.... R....

    Actually, a (very expensive) video was made for one song on Shout, "Are You Experienced?", a cover of the Jimi Hendrix song of the same name. In fact, you can see some of the parts of that video on this one (Hendrix rising out of his grave, DEVO members on a lab).

  38. L.... W....

    love it , hopefully , the big Warner Brothers will release a re masted copy of the SHOUT 1984 lp , on cd or vinal ! go DEVO !

    L.... W....

    Some time in the last 18 years, this album was re-released (but not by Warner Bros. I forgot who.) I remember buying it at Borders. I couldn't find the CD among my many stacks to check for more info.

  39. F.... ....

    huh guess someone got lazy if this was the official vid, it is just a lot of other vids/movies spliced together, well done and all, but pretty half assed for an "official video"

    F.... ....

    Record companies sometimes put together a collage video like this to promote a single release where no 'real' video was made. This is the video that aired to promote the song in Australia; I'm not sure if it aired elsewhere, but it is definitely official.

  40. e.... t....

    Visit Gag-bit Vinyl in Bushwick NYC for your post-punk/new wave/synthpop fetish, including Devo's Shout album and lots of other vinyl... :D

  41. D.... H....

    Well done!!!!

    D.... H....

    ...except I didn't put this together. This is actually an official music video for the song, airing in Australia.

    D.... H....

    Haha some have actually thought you made this 😆
    It's a brilliant clip and you'd be a bloody unsurpassed master 😀

  42. G.... A....

    perfect
