Electric Avenue to Hell Lyrics

["Highway to Hell" Instrumental Intro]

["Electric Avenue" Verse 1]
Now in the street there is violence
And a lots of work to be done
No place to hang out our washing
And I can't blame it all on the sun

["Electric Avenue" Verse 2]
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 kids
Oh good God

["Electric Avenue" 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

Oy!
Oy!
Oy!
Oy!
["Highway to Hell" Verse 1]
Living easy
Living free
Season ticket on a one way ride
Asking nothing
Leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Don't need reason
Don't need rhyme
Ain't nothing I would rather do now
Goin' down
Party time
My friends are gonna be there too

["Highway to Hell" Chorus]
I’m on a highway to hell
Highway to hell
I'm on a highway to hell
Highway to hell

["Electric Avenue" 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
["Highway to Hell" Verse 2]
No stop signs
Speed limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel
Gonna spin it
Ain't nobody's gonna mess me around
Hey Satan
Paid my dues
Playing in a rocking band
Hey mama
Look at me
I’m on my way to the promised land, ay!

["Electric Avenue" 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

Don't stop me!
 
["Electric Avenue" 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
["Highway to Hell" Chorus]
Highway to hell
 
 
Highway to hell
 
 
I'm on a highway to hell
 
 
Highway to hell, highway to–

["Highway to Hell" Outtro]
And I’m going down down down
All the way
Yeah! Yeah!
On a highway to hell
