X-Ray Eyes

Oh-ah-oh-ah-ay, we're a happy family
 Oh-ah-oh-ah-ay, we're a happy family
 Back in 1981
 The scream and shouting had begun
 My parents were still married and had their hatches buried
 They told me everything would work out fine
 Back in 1982
 They were talking 'bout what to do
 Stay together or separate, every day that same debate
 I heard them from the walls up in my room
 All the kids want X-ray eyes
 So they can tell when grown-ups lies
 They got their minds set on the price
 The kids want X-ray eyes
 Oh-ah-oh-ah-ay, we're a happy family
 Oh-ah-oh-ah-ay, we're a happy family
 Back in 1983
 First day in school for me
 Our teacher's name was Mary, she said it's necessary
 That all the kids do exactly what they're told
 All the kids want X-ray eyes
 So they can tell when grown-ups lies
 They got their minds set on the price
 The kids want X-ray eyes
 All the kids want X-ray eyes
 So they can tell when grown-ups lies
 They got their minds set on the price
 The kids want X-ray eyes
 Don't think I can take it, I surrender, mama
 I'm just not feeling so good
 The things didn't turn out the way you told me
 Told me that they would
 And I can't take it, I surrender, mama
 I'm just not feeling so good
 Things didn't turn out the way you told me that they would
 Oh-ah-oh-ah-ay, we're a happy family
 Oh-ah-oh-ah-ay, we're a happy family
 (Ooh-ooh, happy family)
 Oh-ah-oh-ah-ay, we're a happy family
 (Ooh-ooh, happy family)
 Oh-ah-oh-ah-ay, we're a happy family
 (Ooh-ooh, happy family)
 All the kids want X-ray eyes (X-ray eyes)
 So they can tell when grown-ups lies
 They got their minds set on the price
 The kids want X-ray eyes
 All the kids want X-ray eyes (X-ray eyes)
 So they can tell when grown-ups lies
 They got their minds set on the price
 The kids want X-ray eyes
