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
W O R K
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
