"We Gotta' Get Out Of This Place"

Animals

Written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil

In this dirty old part of the city,
Where the sun refuse to shine,
People tell me there ain't no use in trying.

Now my girl you're so young and pretty,
And one thing I know is true,
You'll be dead before your time is due.
I know...

Watch my daddy in bed and tired;
Watch his hair been turning gray;
He's been working and slaving his life away.
Oh yes, I know it!

He's been working so hard,
I've been working too, babe,
Every night and day,
Yeah!  Yeah!  Yeah!  Yeah!

We gotta' get out of this place,
If its the last thing we ever do.
We gotta' get out of this place,
'Cause girl, there's a better life
For me and you.

Now my girl you're so young and pretty,
And one thing I know is true, yeah.
You'll be dead before your time is due.
I know it...

Watch my daddy in bed and tired;
Watch his hair been turning gray.
He's been working and slaving his life away.
I know...

He's been working so hard,
I've been working too babe,
Every day, baby...
Yeah!  Yeah!  Yeah!  Yeah!

We gotta' get out of this place,
If its the last thing we ever do.
We gotta' get out of this place,
Girl, there's a better life
For me and you.
Somewhere, baby,
Somehow I know it, baby.

We gotta' get out of this place,
If its the last thing we ever do.
We gotta' get out of this place,
Girl, there's a better life for me and you.
Believe me, baby.
I know it ,baby.
You know it too.
