"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
...
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
'Cause, girl, there's a better life for me and you."
-- "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place," Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil;
recorded by The Animals, vocals by Eric Burdon (1965)
