Lyrics for We Gotta Get Outta 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 tryin' Now lil' girl you're so young and pretty And one thing I know is true You'll be dead before your time is due, I know See my daddy in bed, he's dyin' Yeah his hair been turnin' gray He been workin' and slavin' his life away I know, we gotta work, yeah Work yeah, work yeah 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 I know it's true My little girl you're so young and pretty And one thing I know is true You'll be dead before your time is through, I know Watching my daddy in bed he's dyin' You know his hair been turnin' gray He's been slavin' and workin' his life away Yeah I know That we gotta work, yeah Work, gotta 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 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 And you know it's true
