Eddy Grant - Electric Avenue lyrics

Boy! Boy! 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 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 Oh, no Oh, no Oh, no Oh, no Oh 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 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 Oh yeah (And then we'll take it higher) Rock it in the daytime (We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue) Rock it in the night (And then we'll take it higher, Electric Avenue) Rock it in my ya-tee-pa-bombay (We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue) Whoa, in the Brixton, yeah (And then we'll take it higher, Electric Avenue)
