  COOKIE JAR (Jack Johnson)

  What is the meaning of the title?

  What is the meaning of the three lines that are italicized and bolded in the lyrics?

  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 killing me ever since it’s begun
  You can't blame me because 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 killing on his TV screen,
  You can't blame me it's those images he's seen

   

  Well, you can't blame me, says the media man
  I wasn't the one who came up with the plan
  But I just point my camera at what the people want to see,
  Now it's a two-way mirror, and you can't blame me

   

  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 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,    (and woman)
  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
  I don't know what they mean
  And it was magic at first
  But let everyone down
  But now this world is going to hurt….
