Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Down in the street there is violence
And a lots of work to be done
No place to hang out our washing
And, man, I can't blame all on the sun, oh, no
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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 the kid, good God
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh, Lord
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Out in the street
Out in the street
Out in the playground
In the dark side of town
[Verse 10]
Oh, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
We gonna rock
