In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in lyin'
Now 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 is dyin'
You know his hair is turnin' grey
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away, yeah

We gotta work ''(Work every day)''
Work ''(Work every day)''
Work ''(Oh, yeah)''
We gotta work, work, work, work

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

Now little girl, you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is through
See, my daddy in bed is dyin'
You know his hair is turnin' grey
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away

We gotta work
Work ''(Work every day)''
Work ''(Work every day)''
Work, work, work, work

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

''Hey!''
''Hey!''

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

''Hey! You know it's true, girl!''
''We gotta get out of this place!''</poem>
