Eyes Of A Child Lyrics

She had 13 kids, each one had 13 problems 
Three uppers, ten downers, just to put up with this 
And she don't know which children belong to which father 
But she loves them all anyway and they each get a kiss 
And the toilet ain't flushing and the toaster is smoking 
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 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 he's a watchman and by night he's a waiter 
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 repossesed and the child support's 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 she's thirteen and it don't make her sick 
And she does lots of crystal 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'd 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 she's seen it all and she knows they're all lies
