[00:00.21]I got some blood under my nails
[00:02.14]I got some mud on my face
[00:08.78]My voice is shot, I'm going grey
[00:11.30]These muscles all ache
[00:17.18]Don't cry for me, I'm the life of the party
[00:21.18]I'm smiling most of the time
[00:24.12]I may be gritting my teeth
[00:25.84]Can't get back where we started
[00:28.78]These days I'm doing just fine
[00:31.10]
[00:34.23]God bless this mess, this mess is mine
[00:38.12]Won't pound my chest or criticize
[00:42.07]I must confess, I've lived, I've died
[00:46.02]God bless this mess, this mess is mine
[00:49.91]God bless this mess, this mess is mine
[00:53.50]
[01:02.17]I knew every buried body paid for each headstone
[01:09.81]I may have led the prayers in public, but I cried alone
[01:18.20]Found God through sin but this ain't my confession
[01:21.99]I'll wait on judgement day
[01:26.04]It's lose or win, got no need for protection
[01:30.58]Stand up or out of my way
[01:32.96]
[01:35.59]God bless this mess, this mess is mine
[01:39.53]Won't pound my chest or criticize
[01:43.45]I must confess, I've lived, I've died
[01:47.34]God bless this mess, this mess is mine
[01:51.28]God bless this mess, this mess is mine
[02:07.85]
[02:11.27]The howling doomsday dogs are snapping at your feet
[02:15.51]'Round here the sky is cracked, but won't admit defeat
[02:20.17]Down here there they got your back and stood at your side
[02:24.37]This treasure chest of rags still keeps this dream alive
[02:29.38]God bless this mess, this mess is mine
[02:33.43]Won't pound my chest or criticize
[02:37.47]I must confess, I've lived, I've died
[02:41.27]God bless this mess, this mess is mine
[02:45.31]God bless this mess, this mess is mine
