Glowing from the poisons
But you know you're only mad
Or what you have to guard
In the outer space?
While you're strolling down the fairway
You couldn't do it right
Steaming down the highway
You see your second cousin
And the devil's been busy in your back yard
Songwriters: Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty
Showing no remorse
The devil's been busy in your back yard
But you know that can't be bad
Sometimes you're better off not knowing
Sometimes they say you're wicked
They've been beating him so hard
Wasted in a fight
It'll only make you sad
How much you've been had
The devil's been busy in your back yard
The devil's been busy in your back yard
They've sprayed on your golf course
Sometime you think you're crazy
Wasting sticky willy
While you're busy sinking birdies
You don't know what you're doing
And keeping your scorecard

Devil's been busy in your back yard
You're in a western movie, playing the part
They just might not have noticed
Covering him with their cash
They're coming down Picadilly
With your trucks of toxic waste
Dripping at the dash
You say he had it coming
Devil's been busy in your back yard
Sometimes you're better off not knowing
Where you gonna hide it
