[Intro]

Hello

This is Devo

We would like to say

Things go both ways

New ideas, stupid moves

Nightmares, or dreams come true

Mucho work minus play

Tension mounts in a twisted face

Dark clouds in a crystal ball

Tension mounts in a foreign place

The screw turns, someone calls:

Time out for fun!

Time out for fun!

Time out for fun!

Time out for fun!


[Verse 1]

So you're living under the gun

Circumstances have you on the run

A doctor frowns, you feel bad

Take this, you've just been had!


[Chorus]

Don't you lose it, now listen to us:

Everything's gonna be all right

Take a break, take some time;

Everything's gonna be all right

Don't you lose it, remember to take

Time out for fun!

Time out for fun!

Don't you lose it, now listen to us:

Everything's gonna be all right

Take a break, take some time;

Everything's gonna be all right

Don't you lose it, remember to take

Time out for fun!

Time out for fun!

Time out for fun!

Time out for fun!


[Verse 2]

So your life has just begun

Somebody else is saying that it's done

Nurses whisper, others grin -

Something's funny at your expense again!


[Chorus]

Don't you lose it, now listen to us:

Everything's gonna be all right

Take a break, take some time;

Everything's gonna be all right

Don't you lose it, remember to take

Time out for fun!

Time out for fun!
