Eyes Of A Child
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 SongtexteGot 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 Aus Songtexte Mania
