Now in the streets there is violence
And lots of work to be done.
Now in the streets there is violence
No place to hang all our washing
And then I can't blame it all on the sun.
No place to hang all our washing
Oh no

Working so hard like a soldier
Can't afford the things on T.V.
Working so hard like a soldier
Deep in my heart I'm warrior
Can't get food for the kid.
Deep in my heart I'm warrior
We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue

The lyrics to Dubstep Kings' song "Electric Avenue" are a commentary on the social and economic issues faced by individuals living in urban areas during the 1980s. The song opens with a declaration that the group is going to "rock down to Electric Avenue," a street in Brixton, London, that was known for its bustling market and street vendors selling a variety of goods. The repetition of this phrase throughout the song emphasizes the group's determination to overcome the challenges they face.
The next lines introduce the theme of urban violence and the difficulties of everyday life in the city. The lines "Now in the streets there is violence/And lots of work to be done" highlight the poverty and social unrest experienced by residents of Brixton and similar areas. The following lines "No place to hang all our washing/And then I can't blame it all on the sun" continue to emphasize the lack of resources and infrastructure in the area.
The lines "Working so hard like a soldier/Can't afford the things on T.V./Working so hard like a soldier/Deep in my heart I'm warrior/Can't get food for the kid" convey the desperation many people felt during this time period. Despite their hard work, they were still unable to afford basic necessities such as food and shelter.
Overall, "Electric Avenue" address the issues of poverty, social unrest, and economic inequality that have long plagued urban areas. By emphasizing the need for action and perseverance in difficult times, the song serves as a rallying cry for those facing similar challenges.
