and i would turn on the t.v.
but it's all about the same
to see all the other people
don't even know what they mean
and it was magic at first
to see them speak without sound
but now their souls gonna hurt
you better turn that thing down
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 didnt teach him to pull the trigger of the gun
it's those video games and this t.v. 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 bought my plan by what the people want to see
man, it's a two-way mirror and you can't blame me
well, it was you, it was me, it was every man
we all got the blood on our hands
we only receive what we demand
and if we want hell, then hell is what we'll have
now we turn on the t.v.
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 let everyone down
and now their souls gonna hurt
you better turn that thing down.
