lyrics

You've been up to no good
And I suspected that you would
But I never thought you'd let it go this far
You've been acting like a prince
With your feet up on the fence
But what was in your hands when you fell and bit the bar?

Well, you've got your hands on everybody's business
Everybody's business but your own

You got a hole in the wall
And a strawman fielding calls
Somewhere in a basement all alone
But when the house is falling down
And you're nowhere to be found
Will he still be sitting by the phone?

You've got your hands on everybody's business
Everybody's business but your own

It's a vision, it's a sort of vision
More like a clinical condition
Keeps the fever burning all night long
Born on the wings of a song

Well, you gambled all your chips
On some insider tips
A little present for the boys up on the hill
Well bees will hive, and man alive
It's getting hard as hell to just survive
But you're sitting with your fingers in the till

You've got your hands on everybody's business
Everybody's business but your own

I hope to see the day
When they carry you away
And I think you know that time is drawing near
And when you're long in the teeth
Then maybe Toby Keith
Will still whisper sweet nothings in your ear

Well, you've got your hands on everybody's business
Everybody's business but your own
