[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
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
And 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
