Here's a quick & dirty transcription from the single (on Eddy's own
Ice Records label, recorded in St. Phillip, Barbados - wish I was
there...)

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

(interlude:
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 no we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
and then we'll take it higher

(2nd interlude:
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
(Rock it in the daytime,
Rock it in the night ... etc, fading)
