God bless this mess
I heard about the day
But everyone I call up doesn't have the time to chat
With teardrops in his eyes
With Robert and Teresa
But something has gone missing
Into a war based on lies
Making casseroles for all
Firemen, policemen
God bless this mess
He doesn't look like I remember
He must've seen some ugly things out there
Everybody is so busy doing this and doing that
God bless this mess
And mama's in the kitchen
God bless this mess
Oh, God bless this mess
People came from all around
And it makes me kinda sad
God bless this mess
And the president spoke words of comfort
I got a job in town
Selling insurance on the phone
Then he led us as a nation
From somewhere far away
Oh, God bless this mess
He just can't seem to say
That two skyscrapers came down
Oh, God bless this mess
And two con men from back home
The smoke covered the city
God bless this mess
My brother came home yesterday
As he stares off into space
And the body count arised
