The Devil’s Been Busy

[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
