Devo - Mecha-mania Boy lyrics

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 eye with yellow soap

He stole his daddy's microscope

All alone, we're not proud

Never say his name aloud

Now he wants to know your little mistakes

Where he goes, and whence he came

It's a mecha-mania boy

This is the boy who never sunk

He ain't the one who destroys his young

Oh, no

Everybody that's the way to roll

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 a deadly fate

He put himself in an altered state

In a crowd or all alone

No-one's laughing anymore

Now he wants to know your little mistakes

Where he goes, and whence he came

He's a mecha-mania boy

All alone, we're not proud

Never say his name aloud

Now he wants to know your little mistakes

Where he goes, and whence he came

It's a mecha-mania boy

In a crowd or all alone

No-ones laughing anymoer

Now he wants to know your little mistakes
