In this dirty old part of the city
where the sun refused to shine
people tell me there is no use in trying

little girl you're so young and so pretty
one thing I know is true
you'll be dead before your time is due
i know i know

watch my daddy day and night
watch his hair it's turning grey
he's been working and slaving his life away
i know i know i know

we gotta know (we gotta go)
we gotta know (we gotta go)
we gotta know (we gotta go)
we gotta know
We gotta get out of this place
if it's the last thing we ever do
we gotta get out of this place
girl there's a better life for me and you

little girl you're so young and so pretty
and one thing I know is true
you'll be dead before your time is due
watch my daddy day and night
watch his hair it's turning grey
he's been working and slaving his life away

we gotta know (we gotta go)
we gotta know (we gotta go)
we gotta know (we gotta go)
we gotta know
We gotta get out of this place
if it's the last thing we ever do
we gotta get out of this place
girl there's a better life for me and you

we gotta know (we gotta go)
we gotta know (we gotta go)
we gotta know (we gotta go)
we gotta know
We gotta get out of this place
if it's the last thing we ever do
we gotta get out of this place
girl 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
oh there's a better life for me and you

you know it's true
you know it's true
