Electric Avenue Songtext
von Eddy Grant

Boy
Boy

Now in the street there is violence
And then a lots of work to be done
No place to hang out the washin′
And then 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 Lord, 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 what 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 Miami, mama, me (We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue)
Whoa and in Brixton (And then we′ll take it higher, Electric Avenue)

(We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue) Oh
