God Is In The House |
We had laid the cables and the wires |
We split the wood and stoked the fires |
We’ve lit downtown, there is no |
Place for crime to hide |
Our little church is painted white |
And in the safety of the night |
We all go quiet as a mouse |
For the word is out |
God is in the house |
Moral sneaks in the White House |
Computer geeks in the school house |
Drug freaks in the crack house |
We don’t have that stuff here |
We have a tiny little force |
Yeah, but we need them of course |
For the kittens in the trees |
And at night we’re on our knees |
God is in the house |
God is in the house |
God is in the house, and no one’s left in doubt |
God is in the house |
Homos roaming the streets in packs |
Queer bashers with tire-jacks |
Lesbian counter-attacks |
That stuff is for the big cities |
Our town is very pretty |
We have a pretty little square |
We’ve got a woman for a mayor |
Our policies are firm but fair |
Now that God is in the house |
God is in the house |
God is in the house, any day now He’ll come out |
God is in the house |
Well-meaning little therapists |
Goose-stepping twelve-stepping Tetotalitarianists |
The tipsy, the reeling, and the drop down pissed |
We’ve got no time for that stuff here |
Zero crime, zero fear |
Yeah, we’ve bred all our kittens white |
So you can see them in the night |
And at night we’re on our knees |
As quiet as a mouse |
Since the word got out |
From the North down to the South |
For no-one's left in doubt |
There’s no fear about |
If we all hold hands and very quietly shout |
God is in the house |
God is in the house |
Oh I wish He would come out |
God is in the house |
