Cover of the 1982 classic Electric Avenue by Eddy Grant

lyrics

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 am 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 playground
In the dark side of town
Oh, 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
Oh we gonna rock down to electric avenue
(Rock it in the night) And then we'll take it higher (electric avenue)
(Rock it, Miami mama, meh) We gonna rock down to electric avenue
(Whoa, in a Brixton) And then we'll take it higher (electric avenue)
