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 it 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 am a warrior

Can't get food for them kid

Good God 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

Oh no

Oh no

Oh no

Oh no

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

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

Oh no 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 dead time

Out in the night

Oh 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

Out in the street

Out in the street

Out in the playground

In the dark side of town

Oh, 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

Ohh yeah, higher

Rock it in the daytime

Rock it in the night

Rock it in the daytime

Rock it in the night

Rock it in the daytime

Rock it in the night
