    Director: Scott Fredette
    Editor: Dustin Chow
    Color: Brandon Kraemer
    Producer: Alex Parks
    LYRICS:
    When I got better from the mumps
    Yes, my swollen nut and neck shrunk
    But, though subtle, I can smell distinctly
    Some sick and swollen stink, still to this day stays with me
    And irked as some dumb tart from Illinois
    In a shirt that says "I heart Michigan boys"
    But it's oy, still steel as a goy's gut
    Oh so concealed in the crease but
    Slow pitching like a Vatican priest to be Pope -- what?
    Dope. So every morning wake up with hope
    And at night fall asleep at the end of your rope
    Alone pretending to cope
    As ill as I am, I am
    But with all that's well I'll yell
    Good god, what the hell, what the fuck
    A white dove on the hood of a two-ton truck
    It took me 30 years to learn my patterns
    Just for shit to turn weird in my return to Saturn
    I feel the freezing creep of greedy sleep sneaking in again
    I'm dangling
    Oh I don't have to pull a shitty fortune from dessert
    Like the piss poor son of a serf to know what I'm worth
    I know what I'm deserved of
    A freaking dirty dove dead
    And a bag of bread from a sellout club
    But will you spell out love in the lashes life serves up?
    Or am I just a red bump in the rash of cash worship?
    Lord. Huh? Whats up?
    As ill as I am, I am
    But with all that's well I'll yell
    Good god, what the hell, what the fuck
    A white dove on the hood of a two-ton truck
    Brief is the life of that bird
    Who brings your secrets, your deepest beefs and desires
    Through it's beak in a minor squeak to be heard
    Its meaning complete no need for words
    It might not last more than a week
    And if this my final trip it be
    Lord take me quick, let me see ye
    And please heed the needs of my family
    As ill as I am, I am
    But with all that's well I'll yell
    Good god, what the hell, what the fuck
    A white dove on the hood of a two-ton truck
    With mangled fingers I play it and say it
    Plain in my octaves with all that I've got
    And for all that I'll not have
    And cursing back to the big bang in slang they sang
    As ill as I am, I am
    But with all that's well I'll yell
    Good god, what the hell, what the fuck
    A white dove on the hood of a two-ton truck

    WHY IS THIS SO SLEPT ONNNNN I grew up listening to this since I was 14 and I’m 24 now, I still listen to the whole mumps and alopecia albums on repeat all the way through, WHY? Is fucking legendary to me. The sound and uniqueness is just A1. It just baffles me the amount of views this video got. I thought they for sure at least deserve a million each at least!

      if I made an album as good as any of Why?'s I'd make videos for them forever. Every song would have several videos and I would ask fans to make even more, because I would have many many fans
