Oh ah oh ah eh we're a happy family
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 fine
Back in 1982 they were talking about what to do
stay together or separate everyday that same debate
I heard them from the walls up in my room
All the kids want x-ray eyes
so they can tell when grown-ups lies
they got their minds set on the price
the kids want x-ray eyes
Oh ah oh ah eh we're a happy family
oh ah oh ah eh we're a happy family
Back in 1983 first day in school for me
our teachers name was Mary she said it's necessary
that all the kids do exactly what they're told
All the kids want x-ray eyes
so they can tell when grown-ups lies
they got their minds set on the price
the kids want x-ray eyes
All the kids want x-ray eyes
so they can tell when grown-ups lies
they got their minds set on the price
the kids want x-ray eyes
Don'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
told me that they would
Oh ah oh ah eh we're a happy family
oh ah oh ah eh we're a happy family
oh oh happy family
All the kids want x-ray eyes
so they can tell when grown-ups lies
they got their minds set on the price
the kids want x-ray eyes
