Fahrenheit 9/11 movie - We Gotta Get Out of this Place lyrics

rate me

Song by Eric Burdon<br /><br>

In this dirty old part of the city<br>

Where the sun refused to shine<br>

People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'<br>

<br>

Now my girl you're so young and pretty<br>

And one thing I know is true<br>

You'll be dead before your time is due, I know<br>

<br>

Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'<br>

Watched his hair been turnin' grey<br>

He's been workin' and slavin' his life away<br>

Oh yes I know it<br>

<br>

He's been workin' so hard, yeah<br>

I've been workin' too, baby, yeah<br>

Every night and day, yeah<br>

<br>

We gotta get out of this place<br>

If it's the last thing we ever do<br>

We gotta get out of this place<br>

Cause girl, there's a better life for me and you<br>

<br>

Now my girl you're so young and pretty<br>

And one thing I know is true, yeah<br>

You'll be dead before your time is due, I know it<br>

<br>

Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'<br>

Watched his hair been turnin' grey, yeah<br>

He's been workin' and slavin' his life away<br>

I know he's been workin' so hard<br>

<br>

I've been workin' too, baby, yeah<br>

Every day baby, yeah<br>

Wow, yeah...<br>

<br>

We gotta get out of this place<br>

If it's the last thing we ever do<br>

We gotta get out of this place<br>

Girl, there's a better life for me and you<br>

Somewhere baby, somehow I know it<br>

<br>

We gotta get out of this place<br>

If it's the last thing we ever do<br>

We gotta get out of this place<br>

Girl, there's a better life for me and you<br>

<br>

Believe me baby, I know it baby<br>

You know it too<br>

<br>
