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
