We've Gotta Get out of This Place Lyrics

In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
The people tell me there ain't no use in trying

Now the girls are so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
They'll be dead before their time is due, I know, I know

Watch their daddy in bed at night
Watch their black hair turning grey
They'll be working and slaving their life away
Oh yeah, I know it

They've been working so hard
I've been working hard too, baby

We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
'Cos girls, there's a better life for me and you

Now the girls are so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
They'll be dead before their time is due, I know, I know

Watch their daddy in bed at night
Watch their black hair turning grey
They'll be working and slaving their life away
Oh yeah, I know

They've been working so hard
And I've been working hard too, baby

We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
'Cos girls, 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
'Cos girls, there's a better life

Yes, there's a better life
I know 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
'Cos girls, 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
'Cos girls, there's a better life

Yes, a better life
I know 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
'Cos girls, 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
