Lyrics:
[Verse 1, Tom Petty] 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 [Chorus, All] The devil's been busy in your backyard [Verse 2, George Harrison] 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 [Chorus, All] The devil's been busy in your backyard [Bridge, Bob Dylan] 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 [Verse 3, Bob Dylan] 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 [Chorus, All] The devil's been busy in your backyard [Sitar Solo] [Bridge, Bob Dylan] 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 [Verse 4, Jeff Lynne] They're coming down piccadilly 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 [Outro, All] The devil's been busy in your backyard The devil's been busy in your backyard The devil's been busy in your backyard
