in this dirty old part of the city
where the sun refuse to shine
people tell me there aint no use in tryin'
now my girl your so young and pretty
and one thing i no is true
you'll be dead before your time is through
watch my daddy all dred and tired
watch his hair its turning grey yeh
hes been workin slavin his life away oh yes i know
yeeeeh hes been workin so hard but i ve been workin hard to yeh
every night and day yeh yeh yeh eh

we gotta get outta this place
if its the last thing we ever do
we gotta get outta this place
cause girl theres a betta life for me and you
