Best part: You can buy a Salad glove, You can buy an iPod. And you can sell that shit to Bookman's when your wife dies and you lose your job! You can hope it gets better, You can follow your dreams... But hope is for presidents, and dreams are for people who are sleeping.
It's so weird hearing Bookman's mentioned in a song. That's like, a local brand. And it makes me realize that this band has one of the same incredibly niche lived experiences as I do of growing up in Arizona. And it also makes me understand a little more why their music is so depressing, cause Arizona fucking sucks. Get me outta here
If you've been kicked in or abused Or mistreated or misused You were told there was nowhere to go but up for you If you've been hurt or you've been betrayed Or you've been fucked or you've displaced You were told it was probably your fault anyway But when your Hustler subscription and your Xanax prescriptions Make you feel lonelier instead You don't want to hear about all those starving children You don't want to be told it's all in your head 'Cause if it's all in your head, that's terrible I saw a junkie lying in a puddle of his own blood last week I saw a cyclist get hit by a car I saw a homeless guy chug a bottle of mouthwash on Christmas Eve No, you can never fall too far You can buy a salad glove, you can buy an iPod And you can sell that shit to Bookman's When your wife dies and you lose your job You can hope it gets better You can follow your dreams But hope is for presidents And dreams are for people who are sleeping My friend Erin says it best "We're all two or three bad decisions away From becoming the ones that we fear and pity" And Toni says it's important to bear some witness when you can And that's not hard to do in the city that I live in You don't have it any better, you don't have it any worse You're an irreplaceable human soul With your own understanding of what it means to suffer... And that's a huge... bummer!
I dont understand why AJJ dosen't have millions of views. Them and all the Asian Man bands deserve so much more recognition. "Were all just two or three bad decisions away from becoming the ones we fear and pity" in 2020 this rings so true.
there isn't a wide audience for G C Am D songs on acoustic guitar anymore with the same old strumming patterns and lyrical structures... that dead horse been kicked for too long.
@@yauker so musically inclined aren’t you. Idiot. The amount of songs that use G C Am D are insane. Most top 20 radio hits. Sweet home Alabama, ring of fire, brown eyed girl. Every jet song pretty much every folk punk song. Has nothing to do with chord progression. You just wanted to prove you “knowz musik”.
Nick, I remember walking to the school playground every night, we'd smoke red Marlboro on the swings while listening to AJJ. I love you brother. -Jacobe

Best part:

You can hope it gets better,
You can follow your dreams...
But hope is for presidents, and dreams are for people who are sleeping.
Have you ever bought tamales from a cooler in the back of some guy’s pickup truck outside of Bookman’s? The tastiest.
Probably my fave ajj song ever made

That's why the songs called people ll 2 because it's part 2 of people 2

I live in Honolulu the city with the highest volume of homeless people in the US and I think about those lyrics every time I see them
I just found out about them! But def a new favorite
He certainly sees a lot of junkies in a puddle of their own blood
well, he DID used to work at the people pound
The main city of my country has drug attics on every corner, freezing to death or rotting away from their overdose
Wasn't he a paramedic or something?
I think he was a social worker.
The craziest part of this song is understanding exactly what a salad glove is despite that not even being an actual thing.
I'm so happy to have learned this, thank you!

You can buy a Salad Glove
YOU CAN BUY A SALAD GLOVE
*YOU CAN BUY A SALAD GLOVE*

This song feels very important. I love it so much.
Dang. Good stuff. Heard it many times but never hit like it do today.

Man I haven’t listened to their newer albums
I mean they're fine, but how do I say this without sounding horribly mean, Knife Man was clearly a peak.
