Song lyrics Cookie jar by Jack Johnson

I would turn on the TV but itīs so embarrasing
To see all the other people I donīt know that they mean
It was magic at first when they spoke without sound
And now this world is gonna hurt you better turn that thing down
Turn it around

"It wasnīt me", says the boy with the gun
"Sure I pulled the trigger but it needed to be done
Cause lifeīs been killing me ever since it begun
You cant blame me cause Iīm too young"

"You canīt blame me sure the killer was my son
But I didnīt teach him to pull the trigger of the gun
Itīs the killer on this TV screen
You cant blame me its those images he seen"

Well "You canīt blame me", says the media man
Well "I wasnīt the one who came up with the plan
I just point my camera at what the people want to see
Man itīs a two way mirror and you cant blame me"

"You canīt blame me", says the singer of the song
Or the maker of the movie which he based his life on
"Itīs only entertainment and as anyone can see
The smoke machines and makeup
Hey you cant fool me"

It was you it was me it was every man
Weīve all got the blood on our hands
We only receive what we demand
And if we want hell then hells what well have

And I would turn on the TV
But its so embarrasing
To see all the other people
I donīt even know that 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
