Everybody, yeah 
Take it to the streets 
Give the people hope, yeah 
Give them love 

Down in the street there is violence 
Lots of work to be done 
No place to hang out our washing 
And 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 
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'm a warrior 
Can't get food for the kids 

Oh yeah, 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 

We'll bring them love 
We'll bring them hope 
We'll bring them peace 
We'll bring peace out in the streets 
Then we'll take them 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 

Out in the street 
I say out in the street 
Out in the playground 
In the dark side of town 

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue 
Then we'll take it higher 
Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue 
Then we'll take it higher 

Electric Avenue 
Take it to the streets 
Electric Avenue 
Give the people hope 
Electric Avenue 
Everybody yeah 
Give them love 
Electric Avenue
