Bless This Mess Lyrics
God bless the man who stumbles
God bless the man who falls
God bless the man who yields to temptation
God bless the woman who suffers
God bless the woman who weeps
God bless the children trying her patients
Trouble getting over it
Is what you're in for
So pour yourself another
'Cause it'll take a steady pair of hands
Holy or unholy ghost
Well now I can't tell, but either way you cut it
You should get some distance if you plan to take a stand
God bless the house divided
God bless the weeds in the wheat
God bless the lamp hid under a bushel
I discovered hell to be the poison in the well
So I tried to warn the others of the curse
But then my body turned on me
I dreamt that for eternity
My family would burn
Then I awoke with a wicked thirst
By my baby's yellow bed I kissed her forehead and rubbed her little tummy
Wondered if she'd soon despise the smell of the booze on my breath like her mom
And it makes me want to be a better man
After another drink
God bless the man at the crossroads
God bless the woman who still can't sleep
God bless the history that doesn't repeat
God bless the man who falls
God bless the man who yields to temptation
God bless the woman who weeps
God bless the children trying her patients
Is what you're in for
So pour yourself another
'Cause it'll take a steady pair of hands
Well now I can't tell, but either way you cut it
You should get some distance if you plan to take a stand
God bless the weeds in the wheat
God bless the lamp hid under a bushel
So I tried to warn the others of the curse
But then my body turned on me
I dreamt that for eternity
My family would burn
Then I awoke with a wicked thirst
Wondered if she'd soon despise the smell of the booze on my breath like her mom
And it makes me want to be a better man
After another drink
God bless the woman who still can't sleep
God bless the history that doesn't repeat

Well this isn't right.

Trouble getting over it is what you're in for so pour yourself another 'cause it'll take a steady pair of hands
Holy or unholy ghost Well why I can't tell but either way you cut it You should get some distance if you plan to take a stand
God bless the house divided God bless the weeds in the wheat God bless the lamp lit under a bushel

I know, as soon as i submitted it I realized it was the wrong title. I couldn't edit until now. Fixed :)
Other than this line: Well now I can't tell, but either way you cut it
The version in the comments is correct.
