Start Jamming...
The curtains raise, so deep inside us, this is the age of video violence.
Up in the morning, drinking his coffee, the girl's on the TV, she's sunning, it's like a movie.
Hard to like women, tired of his sweaty, painting and screaming, thank you, [A] have a nice day.
The curtains raise, the dawn's upon us, this is the age of video violence.
The [A] curtains raise, so deep inside us, this is the age of video violence.
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 curtains raise, the dawn's upon us, this is the age of video violence.
The curtains raise, so deep inside us, this is the age of video violence.
Down at his job, his boss sits there screaming, if he loses this 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 curtains raise, 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, down at a bar, some woman is topless, she's agonized, scarred,
her hair is a mess, while he's just $5 down her, exotic panties, the video jukebox is
a plain Madonna, while just down the block, some local theater, they're grabbing their
crosses at the 13th, beheading, and the dead rise to live, the lips sink to die, the currents
are deep and raging inside.
The curtains raise, 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 [Em] na, [A]
na na na na na na, a good work of step, look
a hole in the eye, time for a Corvette, while he beats her back bloody, and then back at
home, drinking more instant coffee, while some redneck evangelist that you've 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, [C] so deep inside us, this is the age of video violence.
The [A] currents rage, so deep inside us, this is the age of video violence.
Na [Em] na na, na [A] na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na
