Verse 1Oi, oi
Now in the street there is violence, and a lots of work to be done.
No place to hang out our washing and I can't blame all on the sun, oh no.
ChorusWe gonna rock down to Electric Avenue, and then we’ll take it higher.
We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue, and then we’ll take it higher.
Verse 2Workin' so hard like a soldier,
And can't afford a thing on TV.
Deep in my heart, I'm a warrior,
And can't get food for them kids, good God.
ChorusWe gonna rock down to Electric Avenue, and then we'll take it higher
We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue, and then we’ll take it higher.

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue, and then we'll take it higher.

Dealin' in multiplication, and you know you never can to feed everyone,

Out in the street, oi,
Out in the daytime, oi,
Out in the night.
