"The Lord Stepped In (Taking Back Control)"

Don't let 'em for one moment
Alright now

Don't let 'em for one moment
Alright now

The troops came marching in
Locked down this city of sin
Made us stand up and sing
Sweet hosannas
The saints went marching out
Left us in no doubt
We can still bang them out
On old Joanna's
There ain't no point in praying
If you ain't gonna be staying
In your mansion chanting mantras
After midnight
No point singing hymns
Unless everything you sing
Got your congregation ready for a riot

That's when the Lord stepped in
That's when the Lord stepped in
That's when the Lord stepped in
That's when the Lord stepped in

The President decreed
All the people really need
Is a regular drip feed a hit of dettol
Now the toilets are never clean
Daddy stinks of mr sheen
There's a hole in mamas arm where all the bleach goes

That's when the Lord stepped in
That's when the Lord stepped in
That's when the Lord stepped in
That's when the Lord stepped in

A hymn a day
Keeps the doctor away
A hymn a day
Keeps the doctor away

That's when the Lord stepped in
I'm taking back control
That's when the Lord stepped in
I'm taking back control
I'm gonna take you down the river right now
Wash away your germinations, your vaccinations
Your salavations, from nothing
Take you down the river now

That's when the Lord stepped in
I'm taking back control
That's when the Lord stepped in
I'm taking back control

That's when the Lord stepped in
That's when the Lord stepped in
That's when the Lord stepped in
That's when the Lord stepped in
That's when the Lord stepped in
That's when the Lord stepped in
That's when the Lord stepped in
That's when the Lord stepped in
