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 [bad word] of toxic waste
where you gonna hide it in the 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 [bad word] you couldn't do it right
you're in a western movie playing the part
the devil's been busy in your back yard
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 [bad word] down picadilly dripping at the dash
wasting sticky willy covering him with their cash
they just might not have noticed they've been beating him so hard
and the devil's been busy in your back yard
