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
Seeing those rocks drop to the ground gives me life.
yeah, the rocks rock.
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!
Same here. I'm 24. Been listening since 2012
Been listening to him since... '04?
Me too. Currently raising my 3yo kid on this. It's weird and amazing 💖
@@meagangardner7634 Me too! Well he's my grandson. But he's pretty much mine haha
same except I'm 27 and started listeniing to them in highschool at 14 as well.
"took me 30 years to learn my patterns, for shit to turn wierd im my return to saturn". i wish the hook would loop for 16 bars, addictive!
I just found out about these guys today
I am genuinely in love with everything these guys have made, and i literally downloaded everything i could find on itunes. Holy shit, you guys are seriously absolutely 100% fucking AMAZING.
+Tyler Stehley check out clouddead as well its yoni the lead singer of why? and another guy, not much music but literally masterpieces.
hymies basement or greenthink or Reaching Quiet. Check them shits out
These guys? I'd say its mostly just Yoni Wolf.
Am I the only one wondering how such a well produced clip has so little views? I'ts perplexing
his dancing gives me life
I have a chronic, life long case of the hots for Yoni and this video does not help.
Rachel Caprari.. amen 😔
I almost lost it when I met yoni and josiah it was rough
I just saw him live and he’s even sexier at 45 years old
It makes me really happy that you guys keep on making videos for this album. They've all been wonderfully simple and to the point which I find awesome!
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
this song is amazing
🙏
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
best band ever, always will be my favorite
Looking forward to seeing Why? in Portland March 24th 2017

Holy shit, I love your music. Don't stop creating!
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
"Am i just a bump in the rash of cash worship" Shave it off!!!
