In this dirty old part of the city

Where the sun refuse to shine

People tell me there ain't no use in trying

My little girl you're so young and pretty

And one thing I know is true

You're gonna die before your time is due

See my daddy in bed and dying

See his hair been turning gray

He's been working and slaving his life away

I know

He's been working yeah everyday slaving his life away

He's been working babe

He's been working

Work Work Work

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

My girl you're so young and pretty

And one thing I know is true

You'll be dead before your time is due

Yes you will

See my daddy in bed and dying

See his hair been turning gray

He's been working and slaving his life away

Yes I know

He's been working yeah

He's been working

Work Work Work

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

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
