We Gotta Get out of This Place Lyrics

In this dirty old part of the city, where the sun refuse to shine, people tell me there ain't no use in tryin'.
My, little girl, you're so young and pretty.
And one thing I know is true: You're gonna die your time is due.
I can't take anymore, what are we waiting for?
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.
You see, my daddy in bed and tired.
You see, his hair been turnin' gray.
He's been working and slavin' his life away.

Every day he's been working yeah.
He's been working yeah.
He's been working, working, working!
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.
Girl, there's a better life for me and you.
