God Bless This Mess

GOD BLESS THIS MESS
(Crow)

Daddy's in the hallway hanging pictures on the wall
Mamma's in the kitchen making casseroles for all
My brother came home yesterday
From somewhere far away
He doesn't look like I remember
As he just stares off into space
He must have seen some ugly things
He cannot seem to say

Oh God bless this mess
God bless this mess
God bless this mess

I got a job in town selling insurance on the phone
With Robert and Teresa and two con men from back home
But 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 kind of sad

God bless this mess
God bless this mess
God bless this mess

I heard about the day that two skyscrapers came down
Firemen and policemen 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
The, 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
