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, yeah
And one thing I know is true
You're gonna die before your time is through

You see my daddy in bed a dyin'
You see his hair is turnin' gray
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away

My daddy's been workin' workin' every day
Workin' slavin' his life away
Workin' oh yeah my daddy's been
Work work work, oh yeah

We gotta get outta this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get outta this place
Girl there's a better life for me and you

If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get outta this place
Girl there's a better life for me and you
For me and you babe

We gotta get outta this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get outta this place
Girl there's a better life

Girl there's a better life for me and you
There's gotta be a better life for me and you
