We Gotta Get Outa This Place Songtext

von Eric Burdon & The Animals

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 my girl you're so young and pretty
One thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due
Watch my Daddy in bed a die'n
Watch his hands turnin' grey
I know he's been workin' an' slavin' his life away, yeah
I know he's been
He's been workin' so hard
And I been workin' too, yeah
Every night and day
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
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
Now my girl you're so young and pretty
One thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due
Watch my Daddy in bed a die'n
Watch his hands turnin' grey, yeah
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
I know he's been workin' so hard
And I been workin' too, baby
Everyday, bab-ay
Wow! Wow!
Yea! Work! Work! Yeah!
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
Believe me baby
I know it bay-bay
You know it too
