The Devil's Been Busy lyrics
by Traveling Wilburys



While you're strolling down the fairwayShowing no remorse.Glowing from the poisonsThey've sprayed on your golf courseWhile you're busy sinking birdies,And keeping your scorecard,The devil's been busy in your back yard.Steaming down the highway,with your trucks of toxic waste,Where you gonna hide itIn the outer space?You don't know what you're doingOr what you have to guardThe devil's been busy in your back yard.Sometimes you think you're crazyBut you know you're only mad.Sometimes your better off not knowingHow much you've been had.You see your second cousinWasted in a fight.You say he had it coming,You couldn't do it right.You're in a western movie, playing the partThe devil's been busy in your back yard.(solo)Sometimes they say you're wickedBut you know that can't be bad.Sometimes you're better off not knowingIt'll only make you sad.They're coming down picadillyDripping at the dashWasting sticky willyCovering him with their cash.They just might not have noticed, they've been beating him so hardThe devil's been busy in your back yard._______
