Lyricist: Jack Johnson Composer: Jack Johnson
I would turn on the TV
But its so embarrasing
To see all the other people
I don't know what that they mean
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
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 the since begun
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 of the gun
It's the killer on this TV screen
You can't blame me it's 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
It's smoke machines and makeup man
You can't 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 embarrasing
To see all the other people
I don't even know what 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
