Lou Reed - Video Violence Lyrics
The currents rage deep inside usThis is the age of video violenceThe currents rage so deep inside usThis is the age of video violenceUp in the morning, drinking his coffeeTurns on the tv to some slasher movieCartoon-like women, tied up and sweatyPainting and screaming, thank you, have a nice dayThe currents rage, the dawns upon usThis is the age of video violenceThe currents rage so deep inside usThis is the age of video violenceNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naHis heart is pounding he switches the channelLooking for something other than rape or murderOr beatings or torture but except for walt disneyIts a twisted alliance, this age of video violenceThe currents rage, the dawns upon usThis is the age of video violenceThe current rage so deep inside usThis is the age of video violenceDown at his job, his boss sits there screamingIf he loses his job, then life loses its meaningHis son is in high school, theres nothing hes learningHe sits by the tv, watching corvettes exploding, causeThe currents rage, the dawns upon usThis is the age of video violenceNo age of reason landing upon usThis is the age of video violenceNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naDown at a bar some woman is toplessShes acned and scarred, her hair is a messWhile he shoves 5 dollars down her exotic pantiesThe video jukebox is, ah, playing madonnaWhile just down the block at some local theaterTheyre grabbing their crotches at the 13th beheadingAs the dead rise to live, the live sink to dieThe currents are deep and raging insideThe currents rage so deep inside usThis is the age of video violenceNo age of reason is landing upon usThis is the age of video violenceNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naOur good working stiff looks a whore in the eyeTies her to a bedWhile he beats her back bloody and then back -- at home, drinking more instant coffeeCalls some red-neck evangelist that hes seen on tv and saysThe currents rage, the dawns upon usThis is the age of video violenceNo age of reason is landing upon usThis is the age of video violenceThe currents rage so deep upon usThis is the age of video violenceThe currents rage so deep down inside usThis is the age of video violenceNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-naNa-na-na, na-na-na...
