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 pretty
And one thing I know is true
You're gonna die before your time is due, I know
Watch my daddy in bed a-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
'cause 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, yeah
You're gonna die before your time is due, I know it
Watch my daddy in bed a-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
