Lyrics
0:13I would turn on the TV
0:16But it's so embarrasing
0:19To see all the other people
0:22I don't know that they mean
0:25It was magic at first
0:28When they spoke without sound
0:31And now this world is gonna hurt you better turn that thing down
0:39Turn it around
0:43"It wasn't me" says the boy with the gun
0:46"Sure I pulled the trigger but it needed to be done
0:49Cause life's been killing me and the censor begun
0:52You can't blame me cause I'm too young"
1:02"You can't blame me sure the killer was my son
1:05But I didn't teach him to pull the trigger of the gun
1:08It's the killer on this TV screen
1:11You can't blame me its those images he seen"
1:20Well "You can't blame me" says the media man
1:24Well "I wasn't the one who came up with the plan
1:27I just filled my camera with what the people want to see
1:30Man it's a two way mirror and you can't blame me"
1:40"You can't blame me" says the singer of the song
1:43Or the maker of the movie which he based his life on
1:46"It's only entertainment and as anyone can see
1:49The smoke machines and makeup
1:51Hey you can't fool me"
1:59It was you it was me it was every man
2:02We've all got the blood on our hands
2:05We only receive what we demand
2:08And if we want hell then hells what well have
2:19And I would turn on the TV
2:22But its so embarrasing
2:25To see all the other people
2:29I don't even know that they mean
2:32And it was magic at first
2:35But it let everyone down
2:39And now this world is gonna hurt
2:42You better turn it around
2:49Turn it around
I would turn on the TV But it's so embarrasing To see all the other people I don't know that they mean 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 "It wasn't me" says the boy with the gun "Sure I pulled the trigger but it needed to be done Cause life's been killing me and the censor 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 its 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 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 The smoke machines and makeup Hey 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 its so embarrasing To see all the other people I don't even know 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
