Discover the story of the song > Electric Avenue – Eddy Grant

The lyrics are about the struggles of a man living in a violent neighborhood where there is a lot of work to be done. He works hard like a soldier but can't afford basic things like food for his child and blames those in power who can't seem to feed everyone. Despite this, he and his community plan to come together and rock down to Electric Avenue, hoping to take their lives to a higher place.
