Lyrics Jack Johnson

Jack Johnson

Cookie Jar

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

"Well it wasn't me", Say the boy with the gun

Sure I pulled the trigger but it needed to be done

Because life's been killin' me ever since it begun

You can't blame me 'cause I'm too young

You cant 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 his TV screen

You can't blame me, it's those images he sees

Well you can't blame me says the media man

Well I wasn't the one that came up with the plan

And I just point my camera what the people wanna see

Man it's a two way mirror and you can't 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

It's smoke machines and make-up, man, you can't fool me

It was you it was me it was every man

We all got the blood on our hands

We only receive what we demand

And if we want hell then hell is what well have

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

But let every one down

And now this world's gonna hurt

You better turn it around turn it around
