Eddy Grant - Electric Avenue

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
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 am warrior
Can`t get food for them kid
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

Interlude:
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no

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 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

2nd Interlude:
Out in the street
Out in the street
Out in the playground
In the dark side of town

Oh we gonna rock down
to Electric Avenue
and then we`ll take it higher
Hey, we gonna rock down
to Electric Avenue
and then we`ll take it higher
(Rock it in the daytime,
Rock it in the night - repeat until fade)
