DEVO Live Dallas, TX 03/18/2009 - Don't Shoot I'm a Man - Public debut

This video was previously only available on Spudtalk, the DEVO blogosphere ( http://spudtalk.multiply.com ). Mark Mothersbaugh, up close and personal, singing DEVO's new song, "Don't Shoot, I'm a Man", for the first time in front of a live audience.

If you get a chance to see DEVO's new stage show. Do it. It is incredible. Look for their new album, May 2010.

Lyrics confirmed from DEVO-Obsesso.com:

I get up every day.
It's a miracle, I'm told.
Some how I live to work.
So I hit the road.

Squeeze into my hybrid car,
drive as fast as I can
while I scan the rooftops.
Yeah, I scan the rooftops.

Don't shoot, I'm a man.
So don't shoot, I'm a man.

I live in every city
all around the world.
Some times its way too hot.
Some times its friggin' cold.

One thing's always the same,
no matter what they say,
There's way too many problems.
Way, way too many problems.

You wish you were swinging from the trees.
You wish you were slicing through the breeze
You wish you were a king or a queen.
You wish you'd hit the lottery.

Wishin' is for chumps, High hopin' is for fools.

They'll hunt you down.
They'll taze you bro for playin' with the rules.

Don't shoot, I'm a man.
Don't shoot, I'm a man.
Don't shoot, I'm a man.

I've got a big dilema
to punt or go for broke
it's got me goin' sleepless
and I'm about to choke
let me ask you something
answer if you can
think before you answer
there is no correct answer

So Don't shoot, I'm a man.
Don't shoot, I'm a man..

Don't Taze Me Bro!
Don't Taze Me Bro!
Don't Taze Me Bro!
Don't Taze Me Bro!

Funny that I posted this on April 1, 2009 because the new album is supposed to land April 1, 2010. Finally.

@goreal67 Fuck you. The strongest will live, so that the unfit may survive.

[WillShakespeare2007]

I was thinking of flying to the states to see them but there is a lot wrong with this. Good visuals but terrible sound system.
