Now in the streets there is violence
An-na-na lots of work to be done
No place to hang all our washing
And then I can’t blame it all on the sun

Oh no, we’re gonna rock down to
Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
Oh, we’re gonna rock down to
Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher

Working so hard like a soldier,
Can’t afford the things on TV,
Deep in my heart I abhor ya,
Can’t get food for the kid.

Good god, we’re gonna rock down to 
Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
Oh, we’re gonna rock down to 
Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no

Oh no, we’re gonna rock down to 
Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
Oh, we’re gonna rock down to 
Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher

Who is to blame in what country?
Never can get to the one.
Dealing in multiplication,
And they still can’t feed everyone

Oh no, we’re gonna rock down to 
Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
Oh, we’re gonna rock down to 
Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher

Oh, out in the streets, 
out in the streets
Out in the daytime,
out in the night!

Oh, we’re gonna rock down to 
Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
Oh, we’re gonna rock down to 
Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher..

Out in the streets,
Out in the streets,
Out in the playground,
In the dark side of town!

Oh, we’re gonna rock down to 
Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
Hey, we’re gonna rock down to 
Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher..
