Cookie Jar.
I would turn on the TV, but it's so embarressing.
To see all the other people, I don't know what they mean.
& it was magic at first, when they spoke without sound.
But now this world is gonna hurt, better turn that thing down.
Turn it around.
Well it wasnt me said the boy with the gun
Sure I pulled the trigger but it needed to be done
Because lifes been killing me ever since it began
You can't 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 or the gun
It's the killing on the TV scene,
You can't blame me, it's those images he's seen.
Well, you cant blame me, says the media man
I wasnt 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 can't blame me.
You can't blame me says the singer of the song
Or the maker of the movie which he bases his life on
It's only enetertainment, as anyone could see
The smoke machines, the makeup and
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 recieve what we demand,
& if we want hell, then hell is what we'll have.
I would turn on the TV, but it's so embarressing.
To see all the other people, don't even know what they mean.
& it was magic at first, But let everyone down.
Now this world is gonna hurt,
Better turn it around.
Turn it around.
In light of the Shooting at Sandy Hook, and all the other horrendouly crude and shocking current events making national, even world, news. I would like to bring these lyrics to everyone. Maybe Jack Johnsons got it right.
Jack Johnson, Cookie Jar.
