What message does the song "Electric Avenue" by Eddie Grant convey?

Let the listener hear the lyrics and decide. It appears to express life in a modern urban culture based on greed, poverty, corruption, and arrogance. The norm of working for low wages,inept leadership, hunger, and crime is obvious. The non-obvious is the self-centered arrogance that's become acceptable in mainstream society. The "cool" motorcycle sound could suggest a biker's self-exaltation above all others. Electric Avenue seems to be a song ahead of its time. We live in an electronic age that's so progressed we could be "rocking" ourselves down to a ghetto-like information highway. 24.252.252.117 ( talk) 01:02, 21 March 2011 (UTC) reply
