Blue Oyster Cult - We Gotta Get Out Of This Place Lyrics

Blue Oyster Cult Lyrics

"We Gotta Get Out Of This Place"

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

My little girl you're so young and pretty
One thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is through

See my daddy in bed, he's dying
You know his hair is turning gray
He's been working and slaving his life away

We gotta work
Work
We gotta work
Work, work, work, work

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

My little girl you're so young and pretty
One thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is through
Yes, you will, girl

See my daddy in bed, he's dying
You know his hair is turning gray
He's been working and slaving his life away

Yeah, we gotta work
Work
We gotta work
Work, work, work, work

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
