Eddy Grant
Electric Avenue
Boy!

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

[Chorus]
We gonna rock 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

[Verse 2]
Workin' so hard like a soldier
Can't afford a thing on TV
Deep in my heart, I abhor ya
Because I can't find food for the kid, good God

[Chorus]
We gonna rock 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
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
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
Dealin' in multiplication
And though they still can't feed everyone, oh no

[Chorus]
We gonna rock 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

[Bridge]
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
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]
Boy, we gonna rock 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

[Chorus 2x]
We gonna rock 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
