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
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 them kid
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
(Lyrics by Eddy Grant)"
