Human Rocket Lyrics

Devo Human Rocket

I am a human rocket
On a mission of deployment
I've been cocked and loaded
Ready for the culmination

I am a human missile
Guided by a secret agenda
That commands my every thought and deed
And wills me on my way

I am a human rocket
On a mission of redemption
I've been cocked and loaded
Primed by everything I know

I am a human missile
Guided by a secret voice
That commands my every action
And wills me on my way

There is no turning back
There are no second thoughts
First things first and all things fair
Be it love or war, they say

There is no plan named B
On the land, in the air or on the sea
This is what's supposed to be
My duty now awaits me

I am a human rocket
On a mission of instruction
I've been primed and programmed
Since the beginning of time

I am a human missile
Guided by a secret master
That commands my every motion
And wills me on my way

I've found my target
I've reached my co-ordinates
I'm set to detonate and resonate
The final poem I will create

I've made a video
It tells a story, oh
I guess it's time to go
Don't forget to rewind

I am a human rocket
On a mission of destruction
I've been locked and loaded
And ready for the confirmation

I am a human missile
Guided by a secret perfection
That commands my full conviction
And wills me on my way

Large parts of the experience
Will go by unnoticed, we are all
Distracted by the lights and sounds
Of everything and nothing

Do you remember the breath you took
When they let you off the hook
And sent you swimming away
Back into your cell?

I am a human rocket
On a mission of reduction
I've been cocked and loaded
Since the dawn of time

I am a human missile
Guided by a secret voice
That commands my every thought and deed
And wills me on my righteous way
