Electric Avenue

Oi
Oi

Now in the street, there is violence
And a lot of work to be done
No place to hang out the washing
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

Working 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

We gonna rock down to (Electric Avenue)
And then we'll take it higher
Ho, 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
Ho, 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

Ho, we gonna rock down to (Electric Avenue)
And then we'll take it higher
We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue (oh, yeah!)
And then we'll take it higher

Rock it in the daytime (we gonna rock down to) (Electric Avenue)
Rock it in the night (and then we take it higher) (Electric Avenue)
Rock it in Miami (we gonna rock down to) (Electric Avenue)
Whoa, in a Brixton (and then we take it higher) (Electric Avenue)
