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….
