Lyrics of Electric Avenue by Eddy Grant
intro
Boy (boy, boy)
Boy (boy, boy)
verse
Now in the street, there is violence
And, and a lots of work to be done
No place to hang out our washing
And, and I can't blame all on the sun
chorus
(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
verse
Workin' so hard like a soldier
Can't afford a thing on TV
Deep in my heart, I abhor ya
Can't get food for them kid
chorus
(Good God) 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
hook
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no
chorus
(Oh God) 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
Who is to blame in one country?
Never can get to the one
Dealin' in multiplication
And they still can't feed everyone
chorus
(Oh, no) we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
(Oh, no) we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
hook
Oh, 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
(Oh) we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
hook
Out in the street
Out in the street
Out in the playground
In the dark side of town
chorus
(Oh) 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
chorus
(Rock it in the daytime) we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
(Rock it in the night) and then we'll take it higher (Electric Avenue)
(Rock it in Miami, mama, meh) we gonna rock down to (Electric Avenue)
(Whoa in a Brixton) and then we'll take it higher (Electric Avenue)
Writer(s): Waleed N. Shabazz, Shaun Sharkey, Edmond Grant
