We've Gotta Get out of This Place - Eric Burdon

In this dirty old part of the city

Where the sun refuse to shine

People tell me it ain’t no use in trying

My little girl you’re so young and pretty

And one thing I know is true

You’re gonna die before your time is due

See my daddy in bed and tired

See his hair turning gray

He’s been working and slaving his life away, I know

'Cause he’s been working, yeah

Every day

Saving his life away

He been working, baby

He’s been a-working

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

Mmm yeah

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

See my daddy in bed and tired

See his hair been turning gray

He’s been working and slaving his life away

Yes I know

He’s been working

He’s been working yeah

Whoa

He’s been working

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

Ooh baby

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

Oh, you know it baby, and I know it too babe, ohh yeah
