Down in the street there is violence
And a lots of work to be done
No place to hang out our washing
And can't blame all on the sun

No no we're going to rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we take it higher

Workin' so hard like a soldier
Can't afford a thing on TV
Deep in my heart I am warrior
Still can't find food for my kids

Oh no we're going to rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we take it higher
We're going to rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we take it higher

Who is to blame in one country
Never can get to the one
Dealin' in multiplication
Still can't feed everyone

Oh no, we're going to rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we take it higher
We're going to rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we take it higher

We're going to rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we take it higher
We're going to rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we take it higher

Out in the street
Out in the street
Out in the playground
Out in the dark side of town

No no, we're going to rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we take it higher
We're going to rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we take it higher
