God Is In The House - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

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
