That two skyscrapers came down
Oh, God bless this mess
He must've seen some ugly things out there
God bless this mess
And it makes me kinda sad
Making casseroles for all

Into a war based on lies
I got a job in town
Oh, God bless this mess
The smoke covered the city

God bless this mess
And the president spoke words of comfort
God bless this mess
And the body count arised
God bless this mess
I heard about the day
As he stares off into space
Firemen, policemen
And two con men from back home
Oh, God bless this mess

He just can't seem to say
My brother came home yesterday
Everybody is so busy doing this and doing that

With Robert and Teresa

From somewhere far away
Selling insurance on the phone

But everyone I call up doesn't have the time to chat
With teardrops in his eyes
God bless this mess

But something has gone missing
And mama's in the kitchen
Then he led us as a nation
God bless this mess
People came from all around
He doesn't look like I remember
God bless this mess
