The Super Thing
Devo
Today what does it take to do the super thing (super thing)
I'll tell you what it takes a very simple thing (simple thing)
Iron nerves like the pilot of a jumbo jet (jumbo jet)
Or a girl on the go who hasn't got there yet (who hasn't got there yet)
Magnetic trumpets blowing
Synthetic saxophone
The evidence kept growing
From below
Hidden motivations
Buried in the past
Still gives us strength
For the super thing
The red alarm a rude surprise every time it rings (time it rings)
Means it's time to go beyond the normal thing (normal thing)
Pay attention and be prepared to do it right (do it right)
The super thing the thing that makes you bigger than life (that makes you bigger than life)
Magnetic trumpets blowing
Synthetic saxophone
The evidence kept growing
From below
Hidden motivations
Buried in the past
Still gives us strength
To do the super thing
Won't you tell me what it takes
To do the super thing
Won't you give me what it takes
To do the super thing
Signals start to travel from a distant place (distant place)
Lights go out electro shock then pleasure pain (pleasure pain)
Sensations unfamiliar can make you sick (make you sick)
It's a superhuman thing and it does the trick (and it does the trick)
Magnetic trumpets blowing
Synthetic saxophone
The evidence kept growing
From below
Hidden motivations
Buried in the past
Still gives us strength
