E minorEm  B minorBm          A augmentedA B minorBm
  I would turn on the TV, but it's so embarrassing
E minorEm  B minorBm             A augmentedA B minorBm
  to see all the other people, I don't know what they mean
E minorEm  B minorBm          A augmentedA B minorBm
  it was magic at first, when they spoke without sound
E minorEm  B minorBm               A augmentedA B minorBm
  but now this world is gonna hurt, you better turn that thing down

Riff

E minorEm        B minorBm
  it wasn't me, says the boy with the gun
A augmentedA              B minorBm
  sure I pulled the trigger, but it needed to be done
E minorEm        B minorBm
  because life's been killing me ever since it begun
A augmentedA               B minorBm
  you can't blame me because I'm too young

Riff


E minorEm        B minorBm
  you can't blame me, sure the killer was my son
A augmentedA               B minorBm
  but I didn't teach him to pull the trigger of the gun
E minorEm        B minorBm
  it's the killing on his TV screen
A augmentedA               B minorBm
  you can't blame me, it's those images he seen

Riff

E minorEm        B minorBm
  you can't blame me, says the singer of the song
A augmentedA              B minorBm
  or the maker of the movie which he based his life on
E minorEm        B minorBm
  it's only entertainment, as anyone can see
A augmentedA               B minorBm
  it's smoke machines and makeup, you can't fool me

Riff

E minorEm        B minorBm
  you can't blame me, says the media man
A augmentedA               B minorBm
  I wasn't the one who came up with the plan
E minorEm        B minorBm
  I just point my camera at what the people want to see
A augmentedA               B minorBm
  it's a two way mirror and you can't blame me

Riff

E minorEm        B minorBm
  it was you, it was me, it was every man
A augmentedA               B minorBm
  we've all got the blood on our hands
E minorEm        B minorBm
  we only receive what we demand
A augmentedA              B minorBm
  and if we want hell then hell's what we'll have

Riff

E minorEm  B minorBm          A augmentedA B minorBm
  I would turn on the TV, but it's so embarrassing
E minorEm  B minorBm             A augmentedA B minorBm
  to see all the other people, don't know what they mean
E minorEm  B minorBm          A augmentedA B minorBm
  it was magic at first, but let everyone down
E minorEm  B minorBm               A augmentedA B minorBm
  and now this world is gonna hurt, you better turn it around
E minorEm B minorBm        E minorEm
   turn it around.
