listen to the song to put it together
i would turn on the tv, but its so embarrassing
to see all the other people, i dont know what they mean
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
it wasnt me, says the boy with the gun
sure i pulled the trigger, but it needed to be done
because lifes been killing me ever since it begun
you cant blame me because im too young
you cant blame me, sure the killer was my son
but i didnt teach him to pull the trigger of the gun
its the killing on his tv screen
you cant blame me, its those images he seen
you cant blame me, says the media man
i wasnt the one who came up with the plan
i just point my camera at what the people want to see
its a two way mirror and you cant blame me
you cant blame me, says the singer of the song
or the maker of the movie which he based his life on
its only entertainment, as anyone can see
its smoke machines and makeup, you cant fool me
it was you, it was me, it was every man
weve all got the blood on our hands
we only receive what we demand
and if we want hell then hells what well have
i would turn on the tv, but its so embarrassing
to see all the other people, dont know what they mean
it was magic at first, but let everyone down
and now this world is gonna hurt, you better turn it around
turn it around

Jack Johnson- Rodeo Clowns
Chords- C#m F#m A G#
C#m
Sweeping the floors, open up the doors
F#m
Turn on the lights, getting ready for tonight
A
Nobody's romancing because it's too early for dancing
G#
But here comes the music
C#m
Bright lights flashing to cover up your lack of soul
F#m
Many people, so many problems, so many reasons
A
To buy a round drink it down
G#
Just another night on the town
C#m
With the big man, moneyman, better than the other man
F#m
He got the plan with the million-dollar give a damn
A
When nobody understands he'll become a smaller man
G#m
The bright lights keep flashing, the women keep on dancing
C#m G#m
With the clowns, they pick me up when I'm down
A F#m
The rodeo clowns, they pick me up when I'm down
Then it repeats this sequence with only the lyrics changing
Enjoy!!!

verse 3 (sometimes included in live version)
+++++++
B A Emaj
well, somebody's something was left in the room, and now that it's gone of course we assume,
B A Emaj
that somebody else needed something so bad, that they took everything somebody had,
B A Emaj
somebody saw him jump yeah but nobody saw him slip, i guess he lost a lot of hope
and then he lost his grip,
B A Emaj
and now he's lying in the freeway in the middle of this mess, I guess we lost
another one, just like the other one,
