DEVO - Don't Roof Rack Me, Bro! (Seamus Unleashed)

DON'T ROOF RACK ME, BRO! (SEAMUS UNLEASHED)

CHORUS
Don't roof rack me, bro'
Gotta let me go
Don't roof rack me , bro'
Put me down on the ground!
Don't roof rack me bro'
Man, I told you so
Don't roof rack me bro'
Now the brown's comin' down

Seamus Seamus please come back
Your former master is on the attack
If he was honest and told the truth
He'd go to jail for what he did to you
Seamus, why did he make you ride outside?

Dogs don't argue and dogs don't lie
You try to please us. You don't ask why
But when your master betrayed your trust
I wish you'd lost it, just that once
Seamus, why did you have to go away? Hey, hey, hey
(I hear you howlin')

CHORUS
Don't roof rack me, bro'
Gotta let me go
Don't roof rack me , bro'
Put me down on the ground!
Don't roof rack me bro'
Man, I told you so
Don't roof rack me bro'
Now the brown's comin' down

Your master's story seems air-tight
But somethin' about him isn't right
He'll say anything to win the race
Wish you could rise up from your grave
And tell the world
How his smile hides
The soul of an angry little man

Seamus Seamus please come back
Your master's pigged-out on Super-pacs
If he was honest and told the truth
He go to jail for what he did to you
Seamus, why do the bad guys seem to win? It's a sin.
(I hear ya howlin')

CHORUS
Don't roof rack me, bro'
Gotta let me go
Don't roof rack me , bro'
Put me down on the ground!
Don't roof rack me bro'
Man, I told you so
Don't roof rack me bro'
Now the brown's comin' down

The quirky punk rock band DEVO became famous in the 1980s after recording a song called "Whip It."  This year's presidential election has put the Northeast Ohio natives back on the cruelty beat with a song called "Don't Roof Rack Me, Bro!" which satirizes GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney for strapping his Irish Setter to the roof of his car during a 1983 family vacation.

For those who haven't already heard the story, Romney's dog had an accident during the 12-hour ride to Canada and had to be hosed off by the GOP presidential candidate.  Although the Romney family says the dog, named Seamus, enjoyed travel on the car's roof, the incident upset animal rights advocates.  A group called Dogs Against Romney on Wednesday released the song penned by DEVO co-founder Gerald Casale.
