Lyrics

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 am warrior
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 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

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

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
We gonna rock down to electric avenue
And then we'll take it higher

Oh we gonna rock down to electric avenue
(Rock it in the night) And then we'll take it higher (electric avenue)
(Rock it, Miami mama, meh) We gonna rock down to electric avenue
(Whoa, in a Brixton) And then we'll take it higher (electric avenue)
