The Devil Is Busy - Barbara Mason

The devil sure is busy

The devil sure is busy

He’s in every city

Working on your soul is his main goal

Making you think evil thoughts

Is always what he’s trying to do

He’ll make you choose between bad or good

Oh, better beware

The devil sure is busy

He’s in every city

Whispering in your ear plain and clear

You shouldn’t listen you oughta have fear

The devil sure is busy

He’s in every city

When your mind is idle

That’s when he’s most strong

He’ll make you choose right from wrong

Then you do it

You give in

Then he wins

The devil sure is busy

He’s in every city

He’s so busy

He’s in every city

He’s in Philadelphia, PA

He’s in Atlanta, GA

He’s in Alabama

He’s in California

He’s in Texas

He’s in New York City

The devil sure is busy

He’s got a thing

Said the devil

He’s got a thing

He wants to work on you

He wants to work on me

Oh, devil

Lucifer

You’re too busy for me

You’re too busy for me

You’re in every city

Causing wars

Causing crime, causing

You won’t ever stay away from me

Don’t want no part of you

Because you’re too busy

And if you let him he’ll get to you

But the devil sure is busy

He’s in every city

I don’t want being a part of that old devil

He’ll work a spell on you

The old devil

Stay away

You will never stay away

Stay away

Don’t come near me today

No, don’t you do that

The devil sure is busy

He’s in every city

Working on your mind

Work a thing

He’s almost running out of time

Don’t let him get to you
