Cookie Jar - Intellectual

[Chorus]

And 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

"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 killin' me ever since it 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 killin' on this TV screen

You can't blame me, it's those images he sees"

"Well, you can't blame me," says the media man

"Well, I wasn't the one who came up with the plan

And 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 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 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 lets everyone down

But now this world is gonna hurt, you better turn it around

Turn it around
