[Intro]C F Dm G C[Verse]CWe've laid the cables and the wiresCWe've split the wood and stoked the firesCWe've lit our town so there is noFPlace for crime to hideDmOur little church is painted whiteGAnd in the safety of the nightGWe all go quiet as a mouseGFor the word is outCGod is in the house[Chorus]FGod is in the houseDmGod is in the houseGNo cause for worry nowCGod is in the house[Verse]CMoral sneaks in the White HouseCComputer geeks in the school houseCDrug freaks in the crack houseFWe don't have that stuff hereDmWe have a tiny little Force, yeahGBut we need them of courseGFor the kittens in the treesGAnd at night we are on our kneesGAs quiet as a mouseCFor God is in the house[Chorus]FGod is in the houseDmGod is in the houseGAnd no one's left in doubtCGod is in the house[Verse]CHomos roaming the streets in packsCQueer bashers with tyre-jacksCLesbian counter-attacksFThat stuff is for the big citiesDmOur town is very prettyGWe have a pretty little squareGWe have a woman for a mayorGOur policy is firm but fairCNow that God is in the house[Chorus]FGod is in the houseDmGod is in the houseGAny day now He'll come outCGod is in the house[Instrumental]C F Dm G C[Verse]CWell-meaning little therapistsCGoose-stepping twelve-stepping TeetotallitarianistsCThe tipsy, the reeling and the drop down pissedFWe got no time for that stuff hereDmZero crime and no fearGWe've bred all our kittens whiteGSo you can see them in the nightGAnd at night we're on our kneesGAs quiet as a mouseGSince the word got outCFrom the North down to the SouthCFor no one's left in doubtCThere's no fear aboutCIf we all hold hands and very quietly shoutCHallelujah[Chorus]FGod is in the houseDmGod is in the houseGOh, I wish He would come outCGod is in the house
