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
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
Oh yeah, 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
We'll bring them love
We'll bring them hope
We'll bring them peace
We'll bring peace out in the streets
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
Out in the street
I say out in the street
Out in the playground
In the dark side of town
We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
Then we'll take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
Then we'll take it higher
Electric Avenue
Take it to the streets
Electric Avenue
Give the people hope
Electric Avenue
Everybody yeah
Give them love
Electric Avenue
