Showing no remorse
Glowing from the poisons
They've sprayed on your golf course
While you're busy sinking birdies
And keeping your scorecard
The devil's been busy in your back yard.
Steaming down the highway
With your trips of toxic waste
Where you gonna hide it
Maybe outer space?
You don't know what you're doing
Or what you have to guard
The devil's been busy in your back yard.
Sometimes you think you're crazy
But you know you're only mad
Sometimes you're better off not knowing
How much you've been had.
You see your second cousin
Wasted in a fight
You say he had it coming
You couldn't do it right
You're in a western movie, playing the little part
The devil's been busy in your back yard
The devil's been busy now
The devil's been busy now
Sometimes they say you're wicked
But you know that can't be bad
Sometimes you're better off not knowing
It'll only make you sad.
They're coming down Piccadilly
Tripping after dosh
Arresting Sticky Willy
Clubbering him with their cosh
They just might not have noticed, they've been beating him so hard
The devil's been busy in your back yard
Yeah the devil's been busy now
The devil's been busy in your back yard
Whoa, whoa, whoa busy now
The devil's been busy in your back yard.
Yeah the devil's been busy now
While you're strolling down the fairway Showing no remorse Glowing from the poisons They've sprayed on your golf course While you're busy sinking birdies And keeping your scorecard The devil's been busy in your back yard. Steaming down the highway With your trips of toxic waste Where you gonna hide it Maybe outer space? You don't know what you're doing Or what you have to guard The devil's been busy in your back yard. Sometimes you think you're crazy But you know you're only mad Sometimes you're better off not knowing How much you've been had. You see your second cousin Wasted in a fight You say he had it coming You couldn't do it right You're in a western movie, playing the little part The devil's been busy in your back yard The devil's been busy now The devil's been busy now Sometimes they say you're wicked But you know that can't be bad Sometimes you're better off not knowing It'll only make you sad. They're coming down Piccadilly Tripping after dosh Arresting Sticky Willy Clubbering him with their cosh They just might not have noticed, they've been beating him so hard The devil's been busy in your back yard Yeah the devil's been busy now The devil's been busy in your back yard Whoa, whoa, whoa busy now The devil's been busy in your back yard. Yeah the devil's been busy now Explain Request ×
