X-Ray Eyes Lyrics

Back in 1981, the scream and shouting had begun
My parents were still married and had their hatches buried
They told me everything would work out fineBack in 1982, they were talking about what to do
Stay together or separate, every day that same debate
I heard them from the walls up in my roomAll the kids want X-ray eyes
So they can see when grown-ups lies
They got their minds set on the price
The kids want X-ray eyesBack in 1983, first day in school for me
Our teacher's name was Mary she said it's necessary
That all the kids do exactly what they're toldAll the kids want X-ray
Eyes so they can see when grown-ups lies
They got their minds set on the price
The kids want X-ray eyesDon't think I can take it, I surrender mama
I'm just not felling so good
Things didn't turn out the way you told me that they wouldAll the kids want X-ray eyes
So they can see when grown-ups lies
They got their minds set on the price
The kids want X-ray eyes
