God Bless This Mess

[Verse 1] Daddy's in the hallway, hangin' pictures on the wall Mama's in the kitchen, makin' casseroles for all My brother came home yesterday from somewhere far away He doesn't look like I remember as he stares off into space He must have seen some ugly things out there He just can't seem to say, oh [Chorus] God bless this mess God bless this mess God bless this mess [Verse 2] Got a job in town, sellin' insurance on the phone With Robert and Teresa and two conmen from back home Everyone I call up doesn't have the time to chat Everybody is so busy doin' this and doin' that Something has gone missin' and it makes me kinda sad, oh [Chorus] God bless this mess God bless this mess God bless this mess [Verse 3] Heard about the day that two skyscrapers came down Firemen, policemen, people came from all around The smoke covered the city and the body count did rise The president spoke words of comfort with teardrops in his eyes Then he led us as a nation into a war based on lies, oh [Chorus] God bless this mess God bless this mess God bless this mess God bless this mess
