Cookie Jar - Jack Johnson
And I would turn on the TV,
But it's so embarrassing.
To see all the other people
Don't even know what they mean
And it was magic at first
To see them speak without sound
But now your soul is gunna hurt
You better turn that thing down.
Well, it wasn't me, says the boy with the gun,
Sure, I pulled the trigger but it needed to be done,
Because life's been killing me ever since it begun
Can't blame me because I'm to young.
Well, you can't blame me, sure the killer was my son
But I didn't teach him to pull the trigger of the gun
It's those video games and his tv screen,
You can't blame me it's those images he's seen
Well, you can't blame me, says the singer of the song
And the maker of the movie which he based his life on
It's only entertainment, and can anypone can see
It's smoke machines and makeup, man you can't blame me.
Well, you can't blame me, says the media man
I wasn't the one who came up with the plan.
I just point mny camera at what the people want to see,
It's a two-way mirror, and you can't blame me.
Well, it was you, it was me, it was every man,
We've all got the blood on our hands.
We only receive what we demand,
If we want hell, then hell's what we'll have.
And I would turn on the tv, but it's so embarrassing.
To see all the other people
Dont even know what they mean
And it was magic at first
But it let everyone down
And now the world is gunna hurt
You better turn it around
Turn it around.
