The Kids — текст песни (Lou Reed)

Theyre taking her children away

Because they said she was not a good mother

Theyre 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



Theyre taking her children away

Because they said she was not a good mother

Theyre 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 games not over here

But my heart is overflowin anyway

Im just a tired man, no words to say

But since she lost her daughter

Its her eyes that fill with water

And I am much happier this way



Theyre taking her children away

Because they said she was not a good mother

Theyre taking her children away

Because number one was the girl friend from paris

The things that they did, ah, they didnt have to ask us

And then the welshman from india, who came here to stay



Theyre taking her children away

Because they said she was not a good mother

Theyre taking her children away

Because of the things she did in the streets

In the alleys and bars, no she couldnt be beat

That miserable rotten slut couldnt turn, anyone away



I am the water boy, the real games not over here

But my heart is overflowin anyway

Im just a tired man, no words to say

But since she lost her daughter

Its her eyes that fill with water

And I am much happier this way
