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
