<P> In a 2012 keynote speech to an audience at the South by Southwest music festival, Bruce Springsteen performed an abbreviated version of The Animals' version on acoustic guitar and then said, "That's every song I've ever written . That's all of them . I'm not kidding, either . That's' Born to Run',' Born in the U.S.A."' </P> <P> The song's title and theme have become a common cultural phrase over the years . </P> <P> It formed the basis for the title of academician Lawrence Grossberg's We Gotta Get out of This Place: Popular Conservatism and Postmodern Culture (1992), detailing the conflict between American conservatism and rock culture . Similarly, it formed the title basis for Gerri Hirshey's 2002 account, We Gotta Get out of This Place: The True, Tough Story of Women in Rock . </P> <P> It has also been used as the title of editorials by American Journalism Review and other publications . The title was even used to name an art exhibit, curated by Stefan Kalmar at the Cubitt Gallery in London in 1997 . </P>

Who sang we have to get out of this place
