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

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

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

Hey 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

Rock it in

the daytime

Rock it in

the night
