Cookie Jar - Jack Johnson (with lyrics)

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 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 hells what well 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 let everyone down
And now this world is gonna hurt
You better turn it around
Turn it around

@ktkd1007 They call it cookie jar cuz Jack Johnson named it after the children's song Cookie Jar.

Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?

____ stole the cookie from the cookie jar?

Who me? Couldn't be! Wasn't me!

I had to write about what this song was about in Language Arts and now I love this song :)

@95laxbeast

It could also refer to the children's song, when you sing "who stole the cookie from a cookie jar (then say someone's name)" and you pass the song to each person. It's continuous, no one will take the blame, they keep passing it along.
