We Gotta Get out of this Place
In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in trying
Now, little girl, you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is through
See my, my daddy in bed, he's dyin'
Yeah, his hair been turning gray
He's been working and slaving his life away
We gotta work
Work
We gotta work
Work, work, work
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life
For me and you
My little girl, you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due
Yes, you will
Well, see my, my daddy in bed, he's dyin'
You know, his hair is turning gray
He's been working and slaving his life away
(Yeah c'mon now)
We gotta work
Work, work
Work, work, work, work
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life
For me and you
Hey
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life
for me and you
We gotta get on out
Outta this place.
You know it's true, girl
