Lyrics for Song: We Gotta Get Out Of This Place
Lyrics for Album: A's, B's & Ep's [2005]
In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'
Now my girl you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due, I know
Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
Watched his hair been turnin' grey
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
Oh yes I know it
(Yeah!) He's been workin' so hard
(Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby
(Yeah!) Every night and day
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
'cause girl, there's a better life for me and you
Now my girl you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true, yeah
You'll be dead before your time is due, I know it
Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
Watched his hair been turnin' grey, yeah
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
I know he's been workin' so hard
(Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby
(Yeah!) Every day baby
(Yeah!) Whoa!
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
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
Somewhere baby, somehow I know it
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
Believe me baby
I know it baby
You know it too

We Gotta Get Out Of This Place
Released in 1966 by The Animals, 'We Gotta Get Out Of This Place' stands as a defining rock and roll anthem from the British Invasion era. Originally written by Eric Burdon and Chas Chandler, the track captures the frenetic energy of a live performance with its driving rhythm and urgent vocal delivery. The song became a cultural touchstone, famously inspiring the title of the Beatles' 1969 album 'Abbey Road' and influencing countless subsequent rock acts. Its enduring legacy lies in its ability to convey a sense of restless escape that resonated across generations of musicians and audiences alike. |
