The Kids Lyrics - Singles - Reed Lou

They're taking her children away 

Because they said she was not a good mother 

They're taking her children away 

Because she was making it with sisters and brothers 

And everyone else, all of the others 

Like cheap officers who would stand there and flirt in front of me 

They're taking her children away 

Because they said she was not a good mother 

They're taking her children away 

Because of the things that they heard she had done 

The black Air Force sergeant was not the first one 

And all of the drugs she took, every one, every one 

And I am the Water Boy, the real game's not over here 

But my heart is overflowin' anyway 

I'm just a tired man, no words to say 

But since she lost her daughter 

It's her eyes that fill with water 

And I am much happier this way 

They're taking her children away 

Because they said she was not a good mother 

They're taking her children away 

Because number on was the girl friend from Paris 

The things that they did - ah - they didn't have to ask us 

And then the Welshman from India, who came here to stay 

They're taking her children away 

Because they said she was not a good mother 

They're taking her children away 

Because of the things she did in the streets 

In the alleys and bars, no she couldn't be beat 

That miserable rotten slut couldn't turn anyone away 

I am the Water Boy, the real game's not over here 

But my heart is overflowin' anyway 

I'm just a tired man, no words to say 

But since she lost her daughter 

It's her eyes that fill with water 

And I am much happier this way
