Barbara Mason The Devil Is Busy Lyrics

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
