Down in the streets there is violence
And then a lot of work to be done done done
No place to hang out to wash in
And then 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
We gonna rock down to electric avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Working 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
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
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
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
Who is to blame in one country
Never can get to the one
Dealing in multiplication
And they still can't feed everyone
Oh no 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
Out in the street
Out in the street
Out in the daytime
Out at night
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
Out in the street
Out in the street
Out on the playground
Out on the dark side of town
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
Oh no
