Eyes Of A Child

Lyrics

She had 13 kids each one had 13 problems
 3 uppers 10 downers just to put up with this
 And she don't know which children belong to which father
 But she loves them all anyways and they each get a kiss
 And the toilet ain't flushin'
 And the toaster is smokin
 The vacuum don't suck
 But it needs a new belt
 But she saw the world through the eyes of a child
 And remembers how it good it was
 And how good it felt
 He picks up the paper in the bitter cold morning
 He had just gone to sleep, he had to get up for work
 By morning he's a watchman, by night he's a waitor
 In the late afternoon he works as a clerk
 And he can't pay the doctor bills, he just can't afford the pills
 The car's repossessed, and the child support's due
 But he saw the world through the eyes of a child
 Big problems seemed smaller
 And old things seemed new
 Well, She was just six when she turned her first trick
 But, now she's 13 and it don't make her sick
 And she does lots of chrystal
 and she owns her own pistol
 Got a goldfish named Silver
 And a pimp who's named Rick
 And some are like customers, and some are like patients
 She'd have gone back to school, if she just had the patience
 She saw the world through the eyes of a child
 None of the nightmares and nothing to deny
 Yes she saw the world
 And she's seen it all and she knows
 They're all lies
