Cookie Jar

jack johnson--cookie jar

I would turn on the TV

but it's so embarrasing

To see all the other people

I don't 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 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 and the censor 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 killer on this TV screen

You cant blame me its those images he 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 filled my camera with 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

Hey 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 hells what well have

And I would turn on the TV

But its so embarrasing

To see all the other people

I don't 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
