I would turn on the TV
But it's so embarassing To see all the other people I don't know what they mean And it was magic at first When they spoke without sound And 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 since it begun You can't blame me cause 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 the killing on the TV screen You can't blame me It's those images he's seen 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 wanna see Man, it's a two-way mirror And you can't blame me Well 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 we'll have I would turn on the TV But it's so embarassing 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 the world is gonna hurt You better turn it around Turn it around  submitted by fragglerock corrected by Tebbs915 on 28-12-2004 |

 2 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I love this song. It's one of the greatest disses on society but it's so true. I think "the world is gonna hurt" unless we do something about it. Jack has amazing lyrics and an amazing voice to go with it. Kudoo's to you Jack Johnson!!!!  |

23 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This is probably in my top two favorite Jack Johnson songs. It talks about how none of us ever seem to put any blame on ourselves, then we teach our children to do the same thing. We are all full of excuses when it's really everyone's fault. Damn corrupted society! |

95 posts | This song is great because it talks about who we should place blame on for violence within our children.
I love how it says that its not the media, its not the kids, and its not the parents but its everyone that contributes. |
