Now in the street there is violence 

And a lots of work to be done 

No place to hang out our washing 

and I can't blame all on the sun, oh no 



We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue 

And then we'll take it higher 

we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue 

And then we'll take it higher 



Workin' so hard like a soldier 

And can't afford a thing on TV 

Deep in my heart, I'm a warrior 

And can't get food for them kids, good God 



We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue 

And then we'll take it higher 

Oh, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue 

And then we'll take it higher 



Oh no... 

Oh no... 

Oh no... 

Oh no.. 



We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue 

And then we'll take it higher 

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue 

And then we'll take it higher 



Who is to blame in one country 

You never can get to the one 

Dealin' in multiplication 

And you know you never can to feed everyone, oh no 



We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue 

And then we'll take it higher 

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue 

And then we'll take it higher 



Out in the street... 

Out in the street... 

Out in the daytime... 

Out in the night... 



We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue 

And then we'll take it higher 

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue 

And then we'll take it higher 



Out in the street... 

Out in the street... 

Out in the playground... 

In the dark side of town.. 



We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue 

And then we'll take it higher 

Oh, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue 

And then we'll take it higher
