We Gotta Get out of This Place - Missing Persons

In this dirty old part of the city

Where the sun refused to shine

People tell me there ain’t no use in tryin'

They say you’re so young and you’re pretty

And one thing I know is true

You’re gonna die before your time is due

Seen my daddy in bed he’s dyin'

Watched his hair been turnin' grey

I know he’s been workin' and slavin' his life away

He’s been workin' so hard

We gotta get out of this place

If it’s the last thing we ever do

We gotta get out of this place

There’s a better life for me and you

They say you’re so young and you’re pretty

And one thing I know is true

You’re gonna die before your time is due

Seen my daddy in bed he’s dyin'

Watched his hair been turnin' grey

I know he’s been workin' and slavin' his life away

He’s been workin' so hard

He’s been workin' so hard

We gotta get out of this place

If it’s the last thing we ever do

We gotta get out of this place

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

There’s a better life for me and you

There’s a better life for me and you
