[Intro]
Boy! (Boy! Boy! Boy!)
Boy! (Boy! Boy! Boy!)

[Verse 1]
Down in the street, there is violence
And then a lot of work to be done (to be done)
No place to hang out the washin'
And then 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
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'm a warrior
Can't get food for the kids, 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

[Interlude]
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
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 3]
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

[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 streets
Out in the streets
Out in the daytime
Out at night

[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 on the playground
Out in the dark side of town

[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
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

[Outro]
Oh no
