We Gotta Go Lyrics

Times are squalid and the radio's down
There's no one home I'll be sleeping in the van
The only good word that I ever heard
Was the sermon of a priest from a neighbourhood town

And I don't know whop to turn to
Which way to turn when I'm blue

Well don't you know
We gotta go
Well don't you know
We gotta go
Well don't you know
We gotta go
Well don't you know
We gotta go

I was baptised in the river Jordan
Head under water I was floating downstream
I was picked up by a fishing boat
Until this day I still think it was dream

And so you see what It's come to
Trying to stay out of the blue

Well don't you know
We gotta go
Well don't you know
We gotta go
Well don't you know
We gotta go
Well don't you know
We gotta go

Well my mother she told me look here son
You only get to hang around this place once
So don't let anyone bring you down
If things turn bad it must mean that It's time to bounce

I see it now on people's faces
Two or three times now every day

Well don't you know
We gotta go
Well don't you know
We gotta go
Well don't you know
We gotta go
Well don't you know
We gotta go

Monkey on Your Back

Times are squalid and the radio's down
There's no one home I'll be sleeping in the van
The only good word that I ever heard
Was the sermon of a priest from a neighbourhood town

And I don't know whop to turn to
Which way to turn when I'm blue

Well don't you know
We gotta go
Well don't you know
We gotta go
Well don't you know
We gotta go
Well don't you know
We gotta go

I was baptised in the river Jordan
Head under water I was floating downstream
I was picked up by a fishing boat
Until this day I still think it was dream

And so you see what It's come to
Trying to stay out of the blue

Well don't you know
We gotta go
Well don't you know
We gotta go
Well don't you know
We gotta go
Well don't you know
We gotta go

Well my mother she told me look here son
You only get to hang around this place once
So don't let anyone bring you down
If things turn bad it must mean that It's time to bounce

I see it now on people's faces
Two or three times now every day

Well don't you know
We gotta go
Well don't you know
We gotta go
Well don't you know
We gotta go
Well don't you know
We gotta go

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
