Electric Avenue

Boy (boy, boy)

Boy (boy, boy)

Now in the street, there is violence

And, and a lots of work to be done

No place to hang out our washing

And, 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

(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 abhor ya

Can't get food for them kid

(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

(Oh 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

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 down to Electric Avenue

And then we'll take it higher

(Oh, no) we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue

And then we'll take it higher

Oh, out in the street

Out in the street

Out in the daytime

Out in the night

(Oh) 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

Out in the street

Out in the street

Out in the playground

In the dark side of town

(Oh) we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue

And then we'll take it higher

(Hey) we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue

(Oh, yeah) and then we'll take it higher

(Rock it in the daytime) we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue

(Rock it in the night) and then we'll take it higher (Electric Avenue)

(Rock it in Miami, mama, meh) we gonna rock down to (Electric Avenue)

(Whoa in a Brixton) and then we'll take it higher (Electric Avenue)
