cookie jar

i always wonder why ppl put up lyrics in their blogs.. not that anyone would bother reading them, especially if the songs are pretty well-known..
then i heard this song.. and the next thing i know, i'm putting it on my blog too!
just that i find the lyrics (and even the title) of this song is so meaningful that i have to share it with... well, anyone
i think it describes people today perfectly.
anyway, its ok if you cant be bothered to read it haha i understand.

Cookie Jar - Jack Johnson

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
To see them speak without sound
But now your soul is gunna hurt
You 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 because 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 his 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 based his life on
It's only entertainment,
and can anyone can see
It's smoke machines and makeup,
man you can't blame me.

Well, you can't blame me,
says the media man
I wasn't the one who came up with the plan.
I just point my camera at what the people want to see,
It's a two-way mirror, and 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 receive what we demand,
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
Dont even know what they mean
And it was magic at first
But it let everyone down
And now the world is gunna hurt
You better turn it around
Turn it around
