Devo - Love Without Anger Lyrics






Love without anger
Love without anger

He picked up the phone and took the call
A long distance voice just started to bawl
I don't care if you feel small
Love without anger isn't love at all

Why can't you have your cake and eat it too?
Why believe in things that make it tough on you?
Why scream and cry when you know it's through?
Why fall in love when there's better things to do?

Love without anger
Love without anger

Barbie and Ken in a great big fight
Seems Ken forgot to make it home one night
You know what you are seeing simply can't be right
Looks like love's bark is worse than it's bite

Love without Anger

He was young and in love
So he just couldn't see
And it compelled him to ask
"Are you kidding me?
You must be kidding me"

Love without anger
Love without anger

Love without teardrops isn't the same
He asked to be counted out of her game
She thought it him who was so insane
Love is what it does by any other name

But can't you have your cake and eat it too?
Why believe in things that make it tough on you?
Why scream and cry when you know it's through?
Why fall in love when there's better things to do?

Love without anger

    OH THAT ALAN!

    This is a bunch of cultural Marxist garbage. I used to like this when I was a child I guess now that I'm grown up and I don't want my nation to destroy itself with degeneracy, hatred and stupidity I can see this garbage for what it is... Communist propaganda against Christianity marriage and the family. When we had prayer in schools and Fathers as head of the household we didn't have school shootings, pornography, drug gangs and other degenerate manifestations of a dying nation and broken culture ruining our society.

    A.... K....

    cool bro, but it would have been great if someone has asked you

    A.... K....

    @Pollo Chancho
    Don't you see the hypocrisy of your comment? Probably not...your name would indicate that you hail from one of the failed races.

    My romance playbook.

    back in the day many people thought this was just "a fun" b-52s type of band . yes, there beats and rhythms made you feel good, but devo was a very interesting concept in art, technology , how tech affected us for good , ill or indifferently, about everyday life, topical, satire, and so on.

  6. J.... C....

    Sexy guys, especially Alan.

  7. N.... S....

    This is accurate about love.

  8. 6.... R....

    Who cares what games we choose

    My hearts full of worms and completely bruised

  9. a.... 1....

    The videos THESE guys made were so imaginative and bizarre and often pretty funny too. And they call that overrated pop-tart Michael Jackson "The King of Music Video" on account of that Thriller video! .. . fuck HIM!! . . I say THESE guys are the REAL kings, lords, sovereigns, potentates, whatever of the medium!

  10. x.... p....

    Wow September 2019 and this is the first time I've seen this video since around 1981. When music videos were brand-new on TV. I thought maybe that it was banned .maybe Mattel objected for showing Barbie having her head hit off😀. I've been looking for this video for years thanks for posting🎭

  11. P.... 1....

    Ah ah ah

  12. L.... S....

    I do not just forget my favorite tunes so when I turned my sister on to this ....she played new traditionalists all summer 83....she was wow bad ass!.....if it's good today yesterday tomorrow. ...I'm a fucking punker who knows metal.....Patricio

  13. A.... N....

    Devo, one of the be st ever coolest new wave, ruck uu.

  15. R.... K....

    Devo are fucking great!

  16. B.... ....

    One of my favorite DEVO videos, if not necessarily one of my favorite DEVO songs. The stop-motion bits with the Barbie and Ken dolls (filmed by Church of the Sub-Genius founder Ivan Stang) are a stroke of simple genius. The band was often quoted back then that the plastic wigs were a spoof on JFK’s trademark hairstyle, but those of us in the know, knew that it was actually a piss-take on Reagan’s grecian formula look. It fit perfectly with the album’s title — “New Traditionalists” — which itself was mocking Reagan’s first term promise of ‘Morning in America’, and the inherent idea that ol’ gipper was going to bring back good old 50’s family values and traditions.

  17. J.... M....

    Devo,,,,,and gwar,,,,

    Criminally underrated comment

  26. T.... M....

    It was around the time this came out when I started to lose interest in Devo. Devo was ground breaking in the beginning. They peaked when they released "Are we not men" and they slowly de-evolved from there.

    T.... M....

    well, thats usually the pattern with all the bands. When they go mainstream, its difficult to maintain the original energy .

    T.... M....

    The peak for me was Duty Now for the Future for sure. Still, this song is neat.

    T.... M....

    New Traditionalists was the last enjoyable DEVO album for me. Not as consistently great as the first two albums, and on even ground with the 3rd album. However, the darker subject matter of the lyrics and the blatant mockery of the fairweather preppie followers who only wanted to hear ‘Whip It’ (in “Through Being Cool”) saved it from being any worse than it’s predecessor (Freedom Of Choice). After this they got pretty bland and a bit too synth-heavy. Oh No! It’s DEVO was where they lost me. There was a definite nose-dive from New Traditionalists to that one. I didn’t even bother with Shout.

    T.... M....

    And yeah, Tom SK - I’m with you on Duty Now. That’s my favorite DEVO album. Maybe it’s not the critic’s choice, but I thought it was a notch or two better than the first album.

  27. M.... T....

    We in 2018 need genious artists like DEVO 😍😍😍😍

  28. M.... T....

    I Love DEVO awesome band.

  29. O.... ....

    "Why fall in love when there's better things to do?"... damn right!!!!!

    O.... ....

    GET OUT

    O.... ....

    @Randus Applecorn no u

  30. g.... ....

    I'm ashamed to say that I laughed at this video 25 years ago. Today I realize it is shear genious.

    g.... ....

    i still laugh. And i always thought it a genius work.

    g.... ....

    No reason to feel ashamed. This was meant to be funny.

  31. C.... E....

    ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YOU MUST BE KIDDING ME!

  32. T.... O....

    This channel is criminally underwatched. Mark, thank you for making the 80's the greatest decade ever.

  33. F.... N....

    DEVO still remains one of my favorite bands of all time. The choirboy scene was always the best part of this video.

  34. R.... V....

    Devo infuses their work with humor, but they're no joke. Their songs and videos are phenomenal. I'm completely dumbfounded by the low view counts.

    R.... V....

    Redheaded Vengeance yes this the first year of MTV DEVO no question was a group not to be taken seriously but they were the stuff in the early 80s but that's what made 80s music so exciting everyone was different from R&B Rock Jazz rap country if every group was the same 80s would've been boring . I say Devo was one of the best techno new wave groups ever Mark was so nerdy cool . I have Devos greatest hits going to buy Freedom of Choice soon Love !!!80s love my Gap BAND too 1980_1988 BLACK CONSERVATIVE OLD SCHOOL MUSIC LOVER SIGNING OFF!!!

    R.... V....

    What the fuck are you talking about? - 9,318 views and posted only a year ago? .. . no, that ain't so low for THAT TIME SPAN.

    R.... V....

    DAIL MCDAVID newcleus

    R.... V....

    The videos THESE guys made were so imaginative and bizarre and often pretty funny too. And they call that overrated pop-tart Michael Jackson "The King of Music Video" on account of that Thriller video! .. . fuck HIM!! . . I say THESE guys are the REAL kings, lords, sovereigns, potentates, whatever of the medium!

    R.... V....

    One reason for the low view counts is - I literally just found out that they had a Youtube Channel like yesterday! I assumed that any videos were handled with the VEVO, but now I keep seeing individual artists having their own channels. Hell, I just found out that the Beatles had one too!

  35. R.... B....

    I don't know why they (Callaghan university) thought I was beef in 1982 & not chicken !!!!

  36. C.... ....

    DEVO's hilarious!

  37. E.... H....

    Amazing! They actually got drummer Alan Myers to sing along with the rest of the group!

    E.... H....

    Erin Hanks In the studio it was actually just Mark singing lead with backup vocals by Jerry

  38. �.... ....

    How can anyone make a better music video than this?

    �.... ....

    I know. And to think, everybody makes such a big deal out of that 'Thriller video by that over-hyped clown Michael Jackson! But THESE GUYS were some TRUE pioneers of conceptual theatrical music videos who hardly receive THEIR fair and adequate share of recognition and acclaim for it!.

    �.... ....

    Ian Findly the feature length Thriller video ep kept Were All Devo from winning.

    �.... ....

    Nickelback ... wait, no.

    �.... ....

    Rushnerd And the line, Why fall in love when there's better things to do, is so true today.

    �.... ....

    Peek a boo, devo did it, but yeah they make the best music videos
