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 currents 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, life looses 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 $5 down her exotic panties
|
The video jukebox is 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...
|
|
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 upon us
|
This is the age of Video violence
|
The currents rage so deep down inside us
|
This is the age of Video Violence
|
|
Na Na Na Na Na Na...
