Daddy's in the hallway
Hanging pictures on the wall.
Mama's in the kitchen
Making casseroles for all.
My brother came home yesterday
From somewhere far away.
He doesn't look like I remember.
He just stares off into space.
He must've seen some ugly things.
He just can't seem to say, oh..
God bless this mess,
God bless this mess.
Got a job in town —
Selling insurance on the phone.
With Robert and Teresa,
And two con men from back home.
Everyone I call up doesn't have the time
to chat.
Everybody is so busy doing this and doing that.
Something has gone missing
And it makes me kinda sad, oh..
God bless this mess,
God bless this mess,
God bless this mess.
Heard about the day,
that two skyscrapers came down.
Firemen, policemen
And people came from all around.
The smoke covered the city
And the body count arise.
The president spoke words of comfort
With tears in his eyes.
Then he led us as a nation
Into a war all based on lies, oh..
God bless this mess,
God bless this mess,
God bless this mess,
God bless this mess…
