Devo also predicted alot of things, which if everyone has been paying attention.. has come to pass. Anyone notice how the words real and reality and hate have become just the opposite of said reality? We've been played like fiddles. Want to see the player? Look up Lee Atwater. Reality does not = jaded livestock.

the way the video was made. jerry went through a lot of trouble trying to find all that footage. it "sounds" like a happy song but when paired with the video you really understand what devo is trying to say. i was so moved. this video opened my eyes. just by how funny it was and how serious it gets near the end. it made me want to cry somehow.

thanky you for the answer nghdjgb. I am not English native speaker so maybe I will have to listen to the video several times until I finally get the whole message. Thank you again.

I like how the video starts with fairly nice images and slowly degenerates into explosions, war scenes, and police roughing up protesters, culminating in that atomic explosion, but always juxtaposed with people smiling like they don't know/care.
