[Intro]
Oi
Oi

[Verse 1]
Now in the street, there is violence
And a lots of work to be done
No place to hang out the washing
And I can't blame all on the sun, oh no

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Interlude]
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, Lord

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Who is to blame in one country?
Never can get to the one
Dealing in multiplication
And they still can't feed everyone, oh no

[Chorus]
We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Ho no, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher

[Bridge]
Ho, out in the street
Out in the street
Out in the daytime
Out in the night
[Chorus]
Oh, 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

[Bridge]
Out in the street
Out in the street
Out in the playground
In the dark side of town

[Chorus]
Ho, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Hey, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue (Oh, yeah)
And then we'll take it higher

[Outro]
Rock it in the daytime (Electric Avenue)
Rock it in the night (Electric Avenue)
Rock it in Miami mama, meh (Electric Avenue)
Whoa, in a Brixton (Electric Avenue)
