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

 [bad word] 
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

 [bad word] 

Oh no...
Oh no...
Oh no...
Oh no...

 [bad word] 

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

 [bad word] 

Out in the street...
Out in the street...
Out in the playground...
In the dark side of town...

 [bad word] 

Rock it in the daytime
Rock it in the night ...
