G D Daddy's in the hallway Am Hanging pictures on the wall G D Mama's in the kitchen Am Making casseroles for all G D My brother came home yesterday Am From somewhere far away G D He doesn't look like I remember Am He just stares off into space G D He must've seen some ugly things Am He just can't seem to say Em C G God bless this mess Em C G 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
