Electric Avenue Lyrics By Eddy Grant

    boy
    boy

    now in the street there is violence
    and a lots of work to be done
    no place to hang out the washin’
    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 abhor ya
    can’t get food for the kid good god

    we gonna rock down to electric avenue
    and then we’ll take it higher
    ho we gonna rock down to electric avenue
    and then we’ll take it higher

    interlude
    oh no
    oh no
    oh no
    oh no
    oh lord

    we gonna rock down to electric avenue
    and then we’ll take it higher
    ho 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
    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
    ho no we gonna rock down to electric avenue
    and then we’ll take it higher

    ho out in the street
    out in the street
    out in the daytime
    out in the night

    oh we gonna rock down to electric avenue
    and then we’ll take it higher
    ho 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 playground
    in the dark side of town

    ho 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
    rock it miami mama meh
    whoa in a brixton
