Video Violence

Lyrics

The currents rage, deep inside us
 This is the age of video violence
 The currents rage, so deep inside us
 This is the age of video violence
 Up in the morning, drinking his coffee
 Turns on the TV to some slasher movie
 Cartoon-like women, tied up and sweaty
 Painting and screaming, thank you, have a nice day
 The currents rage, the dawn's upon us
 This is the age of video violence
 The current rage, so deep inside us
 This is the age of video violence
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 His heart is pounding, he switches the channel
 Looking for something other than rape or murder
 Or beatings or torture, but except for Walt Disney
 It's a twisted alliance, this age of video violence
 The currents rage, the dawn's upon us
 This is the age of video violence
 The current rage, so deep inside us
 This is the age of video violence
 ♪
 Down at his job, his boss sits there screaming
 If he loses his job, then life loses its meaning
 His son is in high school, there's nothing he's learning
 He sits by the TV, watching Corvettes exploding, 'cause
 The currents rage, the dawn's upon us
 This is the age of video violence
 No age of reason, landing upon us
 This is the age of video violence
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Down at a bar, some woman is topless
 She's acned and scarred, her hair is a mess
 While he shoves five dollars down her exotic panties
 The video jukebox is, ah, playing Madonna
 While just down the block at some local theater
 They're grabbing their crotches at the 13th beheading
 As the dead rise to live, the live sink to die
 The currents are deep and raging inside
 The currents rage, so deep inside us
 This is the age of video violence
 No age of reason, is landing upon us
 This is the age of video violence
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Our good working stiff looks a whore in the eye
 Ties her to a bed while he beats her back bloody and then back
 At home, drinking more instant coffee
 Calls some red-neck evangelist that he's seen on TV and says
 The currents rage, the dawn's upon us
 This is the age of video violence
 No age of reason is landing upon us
 This is the age of video violence
 The currents rage, so deep inside us
 This is the age of video violence
 The current rage, so deep down inside us
 This is the age of video violence
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
 Na-na, na-na-na-na
