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



Ref:

Oh no we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue

and then we'll take it higher

Oh we gonna rock it 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 am a warrior

Can't get food for them kid



Ref:

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



Interlude:

Oh no

Oh no

Oh no

Oh no



Ref:

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



Who is to blame in one country

Never can get to the one

Dealin' in multiplication

And they still can't feed everyone



Ref:

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



2nd Interlude:

Out in the street

Out in the street

Out in the dead time

Out in the night



Ref:

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



3rd Interlude:

Out in the street

Out in the street

Out in the playground

In the dark side of town



Ref:

Oh, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue

and then we'll take it higher

Hey, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue

and then we'll take it higher



Ohh yeah, higher

(Rock it in the daytime,

Rock it in the night - repeat until fade
