Bilingual
We've laid the cables and the wires
We've split the wood and stoked the fires
We've lit our town so 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
God is in the house
God is in the house
No cause for worry now
God is in the house
Well moral snakes in the White House
Computer geeks in the schoolhouse
Yeah, drug freaks in the crack house
We don't have that stuff here
We got 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
Quiet as a mouse
For God is in the house
Alright
God is in the house
God is in the house
Yeah, no one's left in doubt
For God is in the house
Well meaning little therapists
Goose-stepping, twelve-stepping, teetotalitarianists
Well the tipsy, the reeling and the drop down pissed
We got no time for that stuff here
Zero crime and no fear
And we've bred all our kittens white
So that 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
Hallelujah
God is in the house
God is in the house
Oh I wish he would come out
God is in the house
Merci
