Devo - No Place Like Home Lyrics






A song of truth and beauty for you
In the bigger scheme of things
We haven't been around here more than a moment
And yet too many, it seems,
Believe we are creating a brand new world around us--
We are creating a brand new world without us

Maybe it really is okay,
Although we're digging our own graves at this moment
If we should all just disappear
The skies and waters will clear in a world without us

And there's no place like home
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
To return to

We push against the rest of life
As if we can survive without the world around us

Can't have a rainbow without the rain
Can't have a painting without the pain
Can't have a lover walk out
Without the love leaving with them

There's no place like home
No place like home
To return to

And there's no place like home
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
To return to

And there's no place like home
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
To return to

Devo No Place Like Home Comments
  1. L.... K....

    Devo has consistently stayed excellent since the early '70's. I am old now, but some of the best times I ever had were at their concerts.

  2. f.... ....

    This almost sounds like a "normal" pop song...odd for Devo.

    f.... ....

    funkmike It is Something For Everybody!😁

  3. d.... p....

    Great! track from their underrated album 2010! Very nice ! ;-) TY for posting! ;-) if you like it, you’re Welcolme on "WAVEof80"on FB!

  4. J.... Y....

    ECO DEVO

  5. e.... ....

    Ends just like Social Fools. "That's all for now. That's all we know. This is the end"

  6. b.... ....

    I have to say, I'm not really a fan of Devo, but... damn! That was fucking awesome!

    b.... ....

    Yes it IS

  7. M.... R....

    beautiful.

  8. p.... ....

    Clearly a song about our destruction of earth. Devo has a ton of songs that are really social commentaries.

    p.... ....

    The name is short for De-Evolution
    people are getting more stupid with all the technology we have, we are going backwards

    p.... ....

    Damn... that's why I like Devo. People of all ages can listen to their music and enjoy it, because it's just so different it makes you happy. But when you peel back the layers, it's suddenly much less happy.

    p.... ....

    @plaugish indeed...I am 54, but I was in my 20's when they hit MTV

    p.... ....

    I'm only 19. I remember my dad always playing his dinosaur bands in the car when I was driving with him as a toddler. Devo was a HUGE part of my youth. Right up there with Oingo Boingo, Wall of Voodoo, Gary Numan, Radiohead and Primus.

    p.... ....

    Devo is the Rage Against the Machine of new wave music.

  9. W.... S....

    I have always loved DEVO, but this song is beautiful and haunting. Truly a masterpiece.
    I would kill for an extended instrumental...

  10. P.... ....

    I can't believe I've never heard this track before, or heard it while some movie's credits rolled by... Great music and lyrics. Way to go Spudboys!

  11. t.... n....

    Fabulous bassline and arrangement .  Good provocative lyric.  I'd love to hear different singers interpret this....

  12. m.... ....

    I SAID, TEARDROP REWARDS, I SHOULD HAVE SAID, TEARDROP EXPLODES, THE ACTUAL NAME OF THE BAND, WHO HAD A, BIG HIT, WITH THEIR SONG, REWARD.

  13. s.... ....

    whoa this is so different than devos other songs
    might be because of the piano...
    also they remind me of coldplay in this

  14. R.... M....

    seriously! Since I heard this i can't stop thinking JHCope..this sounds like a ghost-write by Julian Cope...like a missing Peggy Suicide track..the theme the arrangement, just Devo-ized....

  15. J.... W....

    Too much "static cling!" I need "Stroft!"

  16. m.... ....

    SOUNDS LIKE, JULIAN COPE AND TEARDROP REWARDS, KIND OF STUFF.

  17. r.... ....

    God DAMN this is a beautiful song! I don't normally associate Devo with "pretty." Kick-ass, yes; pretty, no. Nevertheless, they have done it a few times before. "Gates of Steel" is serious and beautiful. "Gut Feeling," paradoxically enough, at least starts out beautiful, but I think they've topped themselves with this one. Gorgeous!

  18. P.... J....

    Hit him! HIT HIM NOW!

  19. R.... ....

    I am really pleasantly surprised. I have always loved Devo. I grew up listening to them, and didn't stop when I did grow up. Their lyrics have always been interesting and thought provoking, but not quite as poetic and mature as these are. I'm glad that the de-evolution has continued, not just re-hashing their older style of militant conformist rebellion. I actually heard a soul in this song. Nice.

  20. r.... ....

    Damn, damn... I thought I'd only listen to 2-3 songs, and I couldn't stop. One more song, and I'll have listened to the whole album! This album is great! It makes Freedomofchoice sound new! It's great there's still an 80's band making 80's music! I LOOOOOOOVE it!

  21. f.... ....

    i can't believe there are only 8,406 hits for this song. these newer songs from DEVO are 50x's better than many, many other songs. that's ok, DEVO .... at least we know what's good!

  22. A.... I....

    great song, the best from the album - the others are good, too though

  23. S.... S....

    Tribute : ww.youtube.com/watch?v=-S_Gh-SaZpw

  24. n.... ....

    go to their concerts!! they are louder than heavy metal concerts!!!!

  25. B.... ....

    Still way ahead of their time..............

  26. D.... ....

    This should be the THEME to the new series, Terra Nova

  27. r.... ....

    a worthy successor to "Beautiful World" :)

  28. x.... ....

    @jeepndesert - WTF? Are you grabbing info directly out of your ass?
