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
