Eyes of a child


She had 13 kids, each one had 13 problems
Three uppers, ten downers, just to put up with this
And she dont know which children belong to which father
But she loves them all anyway and they each get a kiss

And the toilet aint flushing and the toaster is smoking
The vacuum dont suck but it needs a new belt
But she saw the world through the eyes of a child
And remembers how good it was and how good it felt

He picked up the paper from the bitter cold morning
He had just gone to sleep, he had to get up for work
By morning hes a watchman and by night hes a waiter
In the late afternoon he works as a clerk

And he cant pay the doctor bills, he just cant afford the pills
The cars repossesed and the child supports due
But he saw the world through the eyes of a child
Big problems seem smaller and old things seem new

She was just six when she turned her first trick
Now shes thirteen and it dont make her sick
And she does lots of crystal and she owns her own pistol
Got a goldfish named silver and a pimp whos named rick

And some are like customers and some are like patients
Shed have gone back to school if shed just had the patience
But she saw the world through the eyes of a child
None of the nightmares, and nothing to deny

She saw the world through the eyes of a child
Yes shes seen it all and she knows theyre all lies

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
