Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - God is in the house

We've ^Claid the cables and the wires We've ^Csplit the wood and stoked the fires We've ^Clit our town so there is no ^FPlace for crime to hide Our little ^Dmchurch is painted white And in the sa^Gfety of the night ^GWe all go quiet as a mouse ^GFor the word is out

^CGod is in the house God is in the ^Fhouse God is in the ^Dmhouse No cause for worry ^Gnow God is in the ^Chouse

^CMoral sneaks in the White House ^CComputer geeks in the school house ^CDrug freaks in the crack house We don't ^Fhave that stuff here We have a ^Dmtiny little Force But we ^Gneed them of course ^GFor the kittens in the trees ^GAnd at night we are on our knees ^GAs quiet as a mouse For ^CGod is in the house God is in the ^Fhouse God is in the ^Dmhouse And no one's left in ^Gdoubt God is in the ^Chouse

^CHomos roaming the streets in packs ^CQueer bashers with tyre-jacks ^CLesbian counter-attacks That stuff is ^Ffor the big cities Our ^Dmtown is very pretty We have a ^Gpretty little square ^GWe have a woman for a mayor ^GOur policy is firm but fair Now that ^CGod is in the house God is in the ^Fhouse God is in the ^Dmhouse Any day now He'll come ^Gout God is in the ^Chouse

^CWell-meaning little therapists ^CGoose-stepping twelve-stepping Tetotalitarianists ^CThe tipsy, the reeling and the drop down pissed We got no ^Ftime for that stuff here Zero ^Dmcrime and no fear We've bred all our ^Gkittens white ^GSo you can see them in the night ^GAnd at night we're on our knees ^GAs quiet as a mouse (whispered) ^GSince the word got out (whispered) ^GFrom the North down to the South (whispered) ^GFor no-one's left in doubt (whispered) ^GThere's no fear about (whispered) ^GIf we all hold hands and very quietly shout (whispered) Halle^Clujah (whispered) God is in the ^Fhouse God is in the ^Dmhouse Oh I wish He would come ^Gout God is in the ^Chouse
