Jack Johnson - Cookie Jar lyrics

I would turn on the TV but it's so embarrassing

To see all the other people I don't know what they mean

And it was magic at first when they spoke without sound

But now this world is gonna hurt you better turn that thing down

Turn it around

"It wasn't me", says the boy with the gun

"Sure I pulled the trigger but it needed to be done

Cause life's been killing me ever since it begun

You cant blame me cause I'm too young"

"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 the killing on this TV screen

You cant blame me its those images he's seen"

Well "You can't blame me", says the media man

Well "I wasn't the one who came up with the plan

I just point my camera at what the people want to see

Man it's a two way mirror and you cant blame me"

"You can't blame me", says the singer of the song

Or the maker of the movie which he based his life on

"It's only entertainment and as anyone can see

The smoke machines and makeup and you cant fool me"

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

And 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

I don't even know what they mean

And it was magic at first

But it let everyone down

And now this world is gonna hurt

You better turn it around

Turn it around
