Soul Asylum Eyes of a Child song 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
