The Lord Stepped in (Taking Back Control) Lyrics

Don't let 'em for one moment
Alright now

Don't let 'em for one moment
Alright now

Troops came marching in
Locked down the city of sin
Made us stand up
Sing sweet hosannas
Saints went marching out
Left us in no doubt
We, still play 'em out
On an old Joanna

There ain't no point in praying
If you ain't gonna stay
In your mansion chanting mantras
After midnight
No point singing hymns unless
Everything you sin's
Got your congregation
Ready for the 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 Presidеnt decreed
What the peoplе really need
Is a regular dripfeed
A hit of DECO
Now the toilet's never clean
Daddy stinks of Mr Sheen
There's a hole in mama's arm
Where all the bleach goes 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

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 might take you down the river right now
I'm taking back control
Wash away your germination
Your vaccinations, your celebrations for nothing
I'm taking back control
Take you down the river now
That's when the Lord stepped in
I'm taking back control
I'm taking back control
That's when the Lord stepped in
I'm taking back control
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
