Down in the street there is violence
Lots of work to be done
No place to hang out our washing
And I can't blame it 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
I can't afford a thing on TV
Deep in my heart I'm a warrior
Can't get food for the kids

Oh yea, we gonna rok 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
We'll bring them love
We'll bring them hope
We'll bring them peace out in the streets
And then we'll take them 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
Then we'll take it higher
We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
We gonna rok down to Electric Avenue
Then we'll take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Everybody yea
Take it to the streets
Give the people hope yea
Everybody yea
Give them love
