Everybody, yeah

Take it to the streets

Give the people hope, yeah

Give them love 



Down in the street there is violence 

Lots of work to be done 

No place to hang out our washing 

And I can't blame it all on the sun 

Oh no 



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 



Workin' so hard like a soldier 

Can't afford a thing on TV 

Deep in my heart I'm a warrior 

Can't get food for the kids 



Oh yeah, 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 



We'll bring them love 

We'll bring them hope 

We'll bring them peace 

We'll bring peace out in the streets

Then we'll take them higher 



Who is to blame in one country 

Never can get to the one 

Dealin' in multiplication 

And they still can't feed everyone 

Oh no we gonna rock 



Out in the street 

I say out in the street 

Out in the playground 

In the dark side of town 



We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue 

Then we'll take it higher 

Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue 

Then we'll take it higher 



Electric Avenue

Take it to the streets 

Electric Avenue

Give the people hope 

Electric Avenue

Everybody yeah

Give them love

Electric Avenue
