Jack Johnson - Cookie Jar

Album:

I would turn on the tv
but its so embarassing
to see all the other people
i dont know what they mean
and it was magic at first
when they spoke without sound
and now your soul is gonna hurt
you better turn that thing down

well it wasnt me says the boy with the gun
sure i pulled the trigger but it needed to be done
becasue lifes been killing me ever since it begun
you cant blame me cuz im too young

well you cant blame me
sure the killer was my son
but i didnt teach him to pull the trigger of the gun
its the killing on the tv screen
you cant blame me
its those images hes seen

well you cant blame me says the media man
well i wasnt the one who came up with the plan
i just point my camera at what the people wanna see
man its a two way mirror
and you cant blame me

well you cant blame me says the singer of the song
or the maker of the movie which he based his life on
its only entertainment and as anyone can see
its smoke machines and make up
man you cant fool me

well it was you, it was me, it was every man
we've all got the blood on our hands
we only recive what we demand
and if we want hell then hells what we'll have

I would turn on the tv
but its so embarassing
to see all the other people
dont even know what they mean
and it was magic at first
but let everyone down
and now the world is gonna hurt
you better turn it around
turn it around
