Electric Avenue Lyrics

von Eddy Grant

Oy! Oy!
Out in the streets there is violence and can't get food for the kid
No place to hang up the washing, can't blame it all on the sun
Oh no, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher
We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher

Working so hard like a soldier, can't afford the things on TV
Deep in my heart, I abhor you, can't get food for the kid
Good God, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher
We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher
Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!

Out in the streets, out in the streets
Out in the daytime on the dark side of town
We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher
We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher

Good God, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher
We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher
We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher
Out in the streets!
