Lyrics:
Open up your murder eyes and see the ugly world that spat you out.
Open up your ugly mouth and sing the words it taught you, spit them out.
In the days before the damage no one knew if we were happy,
in the days before the damage dying wasn’t nearly easy now
so open up your murder eyes and see the ugly world that spat you out.
Stevie Wonder to the bullshit
Stevie Wonder to the bullshit, baby,
write a nice pop song about it.
Cut the world in half, I bet that you will go and find a sleeping giant.
Turn the page just to wake him up and then turn the page and then turn the page to kill him.
In the days before the damage boredom was the same as waiting,
in the days before the damage water was the only raining,
in the days before the damage human beings were the ones that did the chasing.
Open up your murder eyes, see the ugly world that spat you out.
Helen Keller to the bullshit
Helen Keller to the bullshit, break through your isolation.
Temple Grandin to the bullshit
Temple Grandin to the bullshit, baby,
find a nicer way to kill it
find a nicer way to kill it
find a nicer way to kill it
find a nicer way to kill it
find a nicer way to kill it
find a nicer way to kill it
find a nicer way to kill it
find a nicer way to kill it

That rug really brings the room together.
China-man has entered the chat
I wonder why they have a soviet carpet lol
@@trumpsmicropenis12 THE CHINA MAN IS NOT THE ISSUE!
Did it not?
I never looked at the lyrics, but always heard "Temple Grandin do the bullshit" not "Temple Grandin to the bullshit". Looking that up, and understanding that phrase puts the song in a whole new light for me. Before, I thought it was ~"doing these things (writing songs, breaking isolation, and being humane) is bullshit". Now I understand it as "do these things in spite of the bullshit". Jeez, I love these guys.
Every song they've released off of Christmas Island so far has been so fucking solid.
Second best AJJ album so far
lies
@@crasyparty it's called an opinion
Lost my mind and played that album everyday so my whole house would vibrate from down the street! One of the last songs my bestfriend sent before they passed a few days ago 😭
Grandin stated that she no longer uses a hug machine: "It broke two years ago, and I never got around to fixing it. I'm into hugging people now."
Lloyd Nix that’s beautiful and makes me so happy
Pragmatism not idealism.
wholesome
@@_grimleythesequel What if I told you I have twenty five bodies in the basement and I'm fixing to replace them?
@@LoydAvenheart do it
Such an evolution from their angsty duo days. They really kill it live, I'm glad growing didn't ruin their style. Keep at it guys, you'll always be gods to us true believers.
Seriously, every track so far has been pure gold, this album is going to be amazing.
***** I respect Fantano a lot and usually my opinion is within reason of his but i think he got it way off when it came to Christmas Island. Incredible album. it's different from previous albums, sure, but lyrically it's fantastic and the production is great. Fantanos opinion isn't fact, personally im in love with Christmas Island and nothing the busiest internet nerd can say will change that
I heard this song when I was finishing an Ethnic American Lit class, particularly I had just finished the novel Truth and Bright Water, literally just finished reading it in my car as I arrived on campus. It left a melancholy feeling so I put on this pop song I thought would help, which I was little acquainted with at the time because it was just released. Well, fuck me running, this song made that novel come to life in the deepest part of my chest and I bawled like a child. It was one of the most justified cries I’ve ever had, if that makes sense. The novel was a coming of age story about a Native American boy who never had a chance. And his best friend who was just as Poor living on the reservation, but he had a mom who’d keep fresh flowers in the kitchen as long as she could, trimming away the decay as needed, bit by bit until it was only stalks and leaves. Such was the preservation of their people. Too many died still as freshly budded petals. The landscape, the Buffalo, the young men, were all replaced with fake flowers and bullshit heritage month carnivals. It’s overwhelming how mankind must eat and eat and eat. How there will always be a just barely-beginning-to-bud little flower of a child that we’ll show a nightmare to, so scary that he never blossoms and eventually self-destructs.
Thanks for sharing
The Isolation part really trips me out, since we've been in isolation for weeks now
I don't know about you guys, but to me the song sounds like it's saying don't let your disabilities hold you back, "Open up your murder eyes, and see the ugly world that spat you out." is saying you need to realize that yeah, you may not be the "average" human being and you are probably getting shit on for that. Sean references Stevie Wonder, Hellen Keller, and of course Temple Grandin, because they not only "opened up their murder eyes, and saw the ugly world that spat them out" (understanding that they aren't the same as others), but that they also "found a nicer way to kill it" (meaning that rather than just learning to live with their disability, they found a way to thrive, this especially shows in the Hellen Keller line with the "Break through your isolation" because due to her disability he was completely isolated from everyone, but she "found a nicer way to kill it", she learned to sign into the palms into others hands and she broke through her isolation). I'm just going to leave it at this for now since it's super late, but I might add more later.
+redvineslicorice Find a nicer way to kill it is a weird phrasing for "be yourself."
***** To me it means "find a nicer way to kill something that you love, which deserves to die." But that's just me.
Finding a “nicer way to kill it” is Temple Grandin! This is what she’s known for. She came up with humane ways to slaughter animals for food, partially because she is pretty severely autistic. She “overcame” that as s setback.
Spot on analysis though! You got me to realize what the song was about more.
I love this analysis
First song that they played in Detroit a few months ago it was an amazing opener and they played the hell out of it. Sean broke his string right after.
AJJ makes me smile, even in the hospital. I love these guys.
Christmas Island is shapping up to be on of my Favorite AJJ albums so far, Every track so far has been amazing. I love this damn band. I can't wait to see them live on the 6th!
Also "Find a nicer way to kill it" is my new motto. Fucking brilliant.
I was going thru an intense stage of paranoia and psychosis and for crazy reasons Christmas Island helped me not think so much of wild shit! Thanks guys :)
been there... methinks it's modernity
I saw them live recently and they opened with this song, words dont describe
Sean looks so happy
Greatest band in the world.
I need Ben's murder eyes at 0:32 as my new wallpaper.

jsmith70 Thank you!
That needs to be a shirt! haha
i laughed really loud at that part! soooo creepy/good
Why are their videos reminiscent of a fever dream
oh my god they need to make more music videos like this
Without even knowing it, AJJ wrote one of the most crip empowering punk songs out there... they are the fcking bomb
glad i'm not the only one who thinks that
On the set ?
I love how he rhymes! It's awesome and seamless.
So many good memories from this song. Saw you guys in Newcastle the UK a few years ago now. Much love!
why does this song also hit harder after the pandemic?
Therapy for me right now
Christmas Island is one of the few albums I can listen to front to back.
It's so weird to see their name changed to AJJ on all their official videos
It's awesome
+KnightsAndDragons i feel kinda indifferent to the name change/initial but still good either way
+Smoked Robot Pate - most likely
i always get salvia vibes when i listen to these guys.
I must say ajj you rock im still in shock i saw and met you a few days ago 6/19/14 at the magic stick i love your band and the new album rocks this song just amazing i hope to see you again. Your an insporattion to me and you helped me through some times. Rock on guys!!!
AJJ is one of the very few artists I've followed since they began and still love their music old and new. I mean, fuck man, Sean Bonnette gives me hope and smiles every day with his lyrics and tunes.
I love how ajj manages to make fucking amazing music videos with a low budget
Dude
that was nice
Oh yeah, "Coffin Dance"and "Getting Naked, and Playing With Guns" are the best songs on the album.
Just saw them yesterday at starland ballroom they were amazing!!!!!!
Tony Perez They're great. I saw them for free after the Chicago prides parade and he pointed out how high some of us were LOL
AJJ rule, end of statement.
Wow, this is like an anthem.
I kinda wish I could give this song to all the angry incels. Such a great message but I think it would most likely fall on deaf ears.
you guys saw the damn writing on the wall
I can't believe this hasn't been revisited like mad in 2022.
BEAUTIFUL
Super dope
Bro. This video makes me so happy. If the band sees this. Fucking thank you guys. Thank you for this.
Saw them live at The Sinclair last month, they opened the show with this and was fucking FANTASTIC.
Wait this is actually kinda good?
this song grew on me
lolmikes your*
ur*
0:10 "The only girl I've ever loved..."
Well shit...
oh.
everything's derivative, it's fuzz
BryanPiekarski ohh okay XD
It's not even the same chords but okay.
Just saw them play this at Union Transfer in Philadelphia, it sounds fan-fucking-tastic live, holy shit.
The greatest thing I ever saw an heard
Everyone should check out temple grandins ted talk
soo guuud
Why are they not more famous?! Best shit I've heard in what seems like forever!! Long live Andrew Jackson Jihad!!
I fucking love this band so goddamned much it's ridiculous
fuck i can't believe i'm seeing them live in 23 days
how was it?
+Mango Master best show i've ever been to and they were so nice
omg this is mad hi cass
0:32
Kek
Aren't humans just great?
No comments yet? Perfect song.
I could marry Sean I stg this man gives me LIFE
Awesome
This album fucking rocks. Best AJJ album yet.
I think he's talking about 9/11 when he sings, "In the days before the damage".
Does anyone notice how everyone was greeting each other from the fist bump, to a hand shake and then with a hug? I think they're trying to say we should all learn to be more affectionate toward people in our hearts.
you are a very stupid boy, don't look for meaning in music anymore because you are just too fucking dumb
"I think he's talking about 9/11 when he sings, "In the days before the damage" "
-I think it means the time before humanism and independence for example
"In the days before the damage boredom was the same as waiting"
aka before and during Renaissance time people had way less stimulation then we do now
"In the days before the damage water was the only raining"
now this could be a reference to 9/11 and possibly acid rain/ pollution, and hey *****, Fuck you
Shane Desormier okay so "the days before the damage" is different for all your dumb fucking interpretations? this album was barely even written, they just say shit that means nothing. It's not even about reading between the lines or some try hard spurg shit, find the interview where he talks about how he wrote Children of God and tell me this garbage can of an album has any meaning.
Leavemealoneabout Usingmyname good thing I said that fucktard
+Zhou Mother That was a line from one of their songs...
Anyway, their songs clearly have meaning.
Last night's show was great!
Hey guys, I always check this song out, when I get SUPER bored of Normalcy "stuff" :D
I love it
All the faces Ben makes in this vidja are fucking classic.
In the hope that AJJ will see this on one of my favourite tracks I hope to see more of your work in the post Trump age, as you guys can actually reach me (I couldn't listen to "can't maintain" for a LONG time without crying so I hope to see more of you & your opinion of what's going to happen now!
NEW ALBUM LOVE YOU
I want to marry Sean
Get in line
I want to marry someone who looks like him,but asexual,who wants to travel somewhere and have a little farm then,yeah maybe i end up alone
Too late, he’s mine
@@presidentwarren3118 yeah probably
They sure could use that toilet paper now
Шикарно
This sounds like a theme song
This is goddamn awesome. It sounds a tad like NMH and I think I came a little.
You're right, its very fuzzy and folky. Idk if jeff would be so rude though lol
Jeff could never be rude, he's Jesus incarnate.
Sean Bonnette has cited NMH as a huge inspiration in the past. AJJ even did a cover of Two-Headed Boy a couple years back.
Ptolemy Yeah I know, they're the greatest.
Ptolemy They also played a Halloween set where they covered the entirety of Aeroplane Over The Sea. It was pretty epic to say the least.
Holy fucking shit. This was amazing I can't wait to see them in july!
*****
I saw them at Lee's Palace the night before. Absolutely blew my fucking mind. Also I ended up getting laid. Thanks Sean Bonnette, you're the best.
this was 6 years ago damn
10 now :0
I like how there is a "squirrel" from 12 oz mouse in the background
look im straight as a pole, but sean is a fuckin cutie
Im as straight as a pole made of wet spaghetti and I want Sean to fuck me down
Music
Why is it tagged as Kokopelli face tattoo?
Great stuff. Our band does some similar stuff. Peace!!

Binging
What genera of music would this be ?
+Mac Sumthing the closest thing they fall under is like indie folk rock I believe haha
folk punk bro
you can pop my balloon any time AJJ
Kill those balloons! Every one of them must die! Destroy them! Watch as they try to fly through the cracks in the sky and then, and the last possible instant, reveal that the sunbeams are impeccable arrows, slicing through their superfluous hearts.
Found Andrew Jackson Jihad through Night Vale. Now I can't stop......
OwO
If helen keller,temple grandin,and stevie wonder deal with lifes merciless unfair bullshit so can every person who has a beating heart, abled or disabled.
+Gingy bread eh some people have it a lot worse than they do
+Zhou Mother well yeah, theirs alot of people who have it rough and are still living, for example Steven hawking, guy is disabled to the fucking core but he still is rawking that will chair like a champ. the point is if people like them can do something with their life most of the general public can.
+Gingy bread I think it's supposed to be kind of a joke kinda thing. Stevie Wonder, Helen Keller, and Temple Grandin to the Bullshit roughly translates to 'blind, deaf, and dumb to the bullshit'. Like I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere.
The song is not meant to offend, the singer has shown great respect for Stevie Wonder and Temple Grandin.
Stevie Wonder to the bullshit - Blind to the bullshit
Helen Keller to the bullshit - Blind and deaf to the bullshit
Temple Grandin to the bullshit - Completely shut out the bullshit
Open up your murder eyes and see the ugly world that spat you out
Open up your ugly mouth and sing the words, it's how you spit 'em out
In the days before the damage no one knew if we were happy
In the days before the damage dying wasn't nearly even easy now
So open up your murder eyes and see the ugly world that spat you out
Stevie Wonder did the bullshit
Stevie Wonder did the bullshit, baby

Turn the page just to wake him up and then turn the page and then turn the page to kill him
In the days before the damage boredom was the same as waiting
In the days before the damage water was the only form of raining
In the days before the damage human beings were the ones who did the chasing
Open up your murder eyes and see the ugly world that spat you out
Hellen Keller did the bullshit
Hellen Keller did the bullshit
To break through your isolation
Temple Grandin did the bullshit
Temple Grandin did the bullshit baby
Find a nicer way to kill it

Find a nicer way to kill it
Find a nicer way to kill it
Find a nicer way to kill it
Find a nicer way to kill it
Find a nicer way to kill it
Find a nicer way to kill it
Find a nicer way to kill it
The sound is so simillar to Neutral Milk Hotel
yeah they like them a lot. also take a few of their chord progressions
Temple Grandin is the messiah.
Aspie writes a song about an Aspie. Aspie comments on video. This is unsettling.
***** I never know
Kurto McBurto That would make sense.
steve has aspurgers?
Aspie replies to other Aspie's comment on a video about an Aspie written by an Aspie.
Does the whole "Stevie Wonder/ Hellen Keller/ Temple Grandin to the bullshit" thing have to do with rappers like Lil Wayne saying things like that with frequency. Also, the whole Temple Grandin line is viscerally effective. Damn. Reminds me of the Lemongeads a
bit actually.
Yeah, there's an interview where Sean gave special thanks to Lil Wayne for popularizing the term.
Blind/Deaf/Dumb to the bullshit. Temple Grandin (maybe you already know) designs "nicer" slaughterhouses. This song and "Temple Grandin Too" on this album both partially deal with the absurdity of that idea, it seems.
MrShrimpyPimpy
I know in "Ben's Song" they take an ambiguous approach to veg*ism. The "Blind/Deaf/Dumb" foil seems to make sense.
one thing i caught was the line there their chanting find a nicer way to kill it. then the balloons came down like it was trickling blood. that was a great idea.
Some mother like game brought me here, was wondering where that copyright claim of my reaction was from
@@bloodredbradley yep
Always forget how weird they are till I listen to there music
love that metal voice at the end
No metal, just punk
The album is amazing everyone. You will not be let down. Oh, and this is the song meaning - I think.
Open up your murder eyes
And see the ugly world that spat you out
(Open your corrupted eyes to the world that you were not excepted into)
Open up your ugly mouth
And sing the words as I
Spit 'em out
(Open up your corrupted / obsessive mouth and sing along to their songs)
In the days before the damage
No one knew if they were happy
In the days before the damage
Dying wasn't nearly easy now
(In the days before the breakthrough and popularity of the band, no one knew they had enough to be happy - and they could also do what they want, even die - but now so many fans depend on them - giving them alot more of a job like responsibility)
So open up your murder eyes
And see the ugly world that spat you out
(So open up your eyes and realize you had it better then, even though you had it rough - now he is an adult and hates the responsibilities)
Stevie Wonder did the bullshit
Stevie Wonder did the bullshit, baby
Write a nice pop song about it
(Stevie wonder was a popular and happy artist - he is jealous)
Cut the world in half I bet that
You will go and find a sleeping giant
Turn the page just to wake him up
And then turn the page
And then turn the page
To kill him
(No one knew inside of him their was a giant band and fandom on the horizon, so cut him in half to wake up the emotions put in the band. Turn the page to success and turn the page to regret)
In the days before the damage
Boredom was the same as waiting
In the days before the damage
Water was the only raining
In the days before the damage
Human beings were the ones
That did the chasing
(In the days before their popularity they had to wait for success - though it was boring. Before popularity it only rained water, now it rains responsibilities and money and all the consumer bullshit. Before popularity the band hand to chase down gigs and opportunities, now its fans chasing them)
Open up your murder eyes
And see the ugly world that spat you out
(So open up your eyes and realize you had it better then, even though you had it rough - now he is an adult and hates the responsibilities)
Helen Keller did the bullshit
Helen Keller did the bullshit
Break through your isolation
(Hellenic Keller another emblem that made a change - he was jealous. But finally one day he broke through the small opportunities and made it big.)
Temple Grandin did the bullshit
Temple Grandin did the bullshit, baby
(Another emblem)
Find a nicer way to kill it
(Find a better way to grow up, instead of suffering through it)
Was? I'm pretty sure she's still alive.
im let down you got the lyrics wrong
Sorry dude, I'm going to have to disagree with just about everything you're saying here. The song is about overcoming a handicap, blindness, isolation, autism. Sublimate your handicap into something incredible. Become a pop icon, learn to socialize against all odds, become a published and well respected scholar regardless of autism. Find a nicer way to kill it, as in, find a positive way to deal with your problems. The damage, as far as I can ascertain, is probably an allusion to hunter-gatherer times. Water was the only raining, as in no acid-rain, people did the chasing, as in hunting. Boredom was the same as waiting, there weren't a million entertainment options waiting around every corner. The thing with the sleeping giant imo is just about how imagination and reading works. You're reading a story about a giant, you turn the page and the giant wakes up in the story, you turn the pages until the hero kills the giant. Not trying to shit on you, but I think you're focusing way too much on the band as the speaker.
almussalix " Find a nicer way to kill it, as in, find a positive way to deal with your problems." Yes, but that line is also literal. Temple Grandin is most well known for her work on creating a more humane way of slaughtering livestock.
minivanmegafun
Thank you so much for telling me that. I was wondering if it was something she'd said, I haven't had time to check her books out yet.
All that precious toilet paper... wasted...
Well, they are shit.
@@shinybeast8946 bro can you shut your bitch ass up clearly no one agrees with you
@@maxnickles I'm not your bro.
He looks like the stephen king john green
Is the drummer a native american?
They need some cred.
Okay I listened to Temple grandin 2 first and I'm trying to figure out out what it means when they say find a nicer way to kill it? It either has something to do with veganism or killing god
She designed more humane ways of slaughtering cattle (it's been 4 years so you've probably already figured that out by now lol)
Holland 1945 or nah
+Magged Rat AGREEEEEEEEEEEEE
I'm high as fuck.
Temple Grandin found a nicer way to kill it, she changed the slaughterhouse to what it is today.
Less pain; quick death
