God Bless This Mess

Daddy's in the hallway Hanging pictures on the wall And mama's in the kitchen Making ca*seroles 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've seen some ugly things out there He just can't seem to say Oh, God bless this mess God bless this mess God bless this mess I got a job in town Selling insurance on the phone With Robert and Teresa And two con men from back home But everyone I call up doesn't have the time to chat Everybody is so busy doing this and doing that But something has gone missing And it makes me kinda sad Oh, God bless this mess God bless this mess God bless this mess I 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 arised And 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, God bless this mess God bless this mess God bless this mess God bless this mess
