[bad word] by The Animals)

In the dirtiest part of the city 
Where the sun refused to shine 
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin' 

My love, you're so young and pretty 
One thing I know is [bad word] 
You're gonna die before your time is due 

See my daddy, he lay dying 
See his hair all turning grey 
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away 

He's been workin', yeah 
Everyday, slavin' his life away 
He's been workin', yeah 
Work, 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 
Babe, there's a better life for me and you 

My love, you're so young and pretty 
There's one thing I wish you'd do 
Throw that needle away, it doesn't mean much to you 

Some of our best friends have died 
You can see them turnin' grey 
Workin' real hard throwin' their lives away 

They've been workin' yeah 
Everyday, throwin' their lives away 
They've been workin', yeah 
Work, 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 
Babe, there's a better life for me and you 

I know it 
And you know it, too 

We gotta get out of this place 
If it's the last thing we ever do 
We gotta get out of this place 
Babe, there's a better life for me and you 

Think about it 
For once in your life 
It's now or never, baby 
C'mon
