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 backyard Steaming down the highway With your trucks 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 backyard 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 He couldn't do it right You're in a western movie Playing the part The devil's been busy in your backyard 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 picadilly Dripping at the dosh Arresting Sticky Willy Clubbing him with their cosh They just might not have noticed They've been hitting him so hard The devil's been busy in your backyard The devil's been busy in your backyard The devil's been busy in your backyard
