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


We've laid the cables and the wiresWe've split the wood and stoked the firesWe've lit our town so there is noPlace for crime to hideOur little church is painted whiteAnd in the safety of the nightWe all go quiet as a mouseFor the word is outThat God is in the houseGod is in the houseGod is in the houseNo cause for worry nowGod is in the house
Moral sneaks in the White HouseComputer geeks in the school houseDrug freaks in the crack houseWe don't have that stuff hereWe have a tiny little forceYeah, but we need them of courseFor the kittens in the treesAnd at night we are on our kneesAs quiet as a mouseFor God is in the houseGod is in the houseGod is in the houseAnd no one's left in doubtGod is in the house
Homos roaming the streets in packsQueer bashers with tyre-jacksLesbian counter-attacksThat stuff is for the big citiesOur town is very prettyWe have a pretty little squareWe have a woman for a mayorOur policy is firm but fairNow that God is in the houseGod is in the houseGod is in the houseAny day now He'll come outGod is in the house
Well-meaning little therapistsGoose-stepping twelve-stepping TeatotalitarianistsThe tipsy, the reeling and the drop down pissedWe got no time for that stuff hereZero crime and no fearWe've bred all our kittens whiteSo that you can see them in the nightAnd at night we're on our kneesAs quiet as a mouseSince the word got outFrom the North down to the SouthFor no-one's left in doubtThere's no fear aboutIf we all hold hands and very quietly shoutHallelujahGod is in the houseOh I wish He would come outGod is in the house
