Cookie Jar — текст песни (Jack Johnson)

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, to see them speak without sound.
And now your soul is gonna hurt.
You`d better turn that thing down.

Well, it wasn`t me, says the boy with the gun,
Sure i pulled the trigger, but it needed to be done
Because life`s been killing me ever since it begun.
Can`t blame me, `cuz i`m too young.

Well, 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 those video games and this TV screen.
You can`t blame me, it`s those images he`s seen.

Well you can`t blame me, says the singer of the song and the maker of the movie which he bases life on.
It`s only entertainment, and as anyone can see,
It`s smoke machines and make up...
And you can`t blame me.

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 where the people want to see.
It`s a two-way mirror. You can`t blame me.

Well, it was you it was me, it was every man.
We`ve all got the blood on our hands.
We only recieve what we demand,
And if we want hell, then hell`s what we`ll 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 everyone down,
And now this world`s gonna hurt.
You`d better turn it around.... Turn it around.
