Did anyone else notice that the Initials of Tom Violence are T.V.? Perhaps he's trying to say how the media instills violent thoughts into young people.

Every rock song can be about heroin. That's the default guess when you have no idea what a song's about, and it usually carries 60% chance of being right.
