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
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
