Boy

Boy



Down 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



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'm 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



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 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 daytime

Out in the night



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



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



We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue

And then we'll take it higher, Electric Avenue

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue

And then we'll take it higher, Electric Avenue
