the name is accurate, however
"Studies prove that alligators, while they don't "cry", do produce tears. This means they have tear ducts, which are part of the lacrimal system."
it's debatable whether this band was referring to "crying" or only the extistence of tears. they do have tear ducts so they may produce tears, but when?
"These tears are quite real and, like our own tears, are products of the lachrymal glands. These glands produce a proteinaceous fluid which is secreted behind the nictitating membrane (third eyelid, easily visible in the photograph). The fluid helps to clean the eye, lubricate the passage of the nictitating membrane across the eye's surface, and probably also helps to reduce bacterial growth. Tears are normally only noticeable if the alligator has been out of the water for a long time and the eyes begin to dry out"
now likely this band was referring to tears in a sad way but that's not the case. as you see, tears help lubricate the eye. are they referring to dry eyes? it would make sense with the cover.
song is boring btw, video could give someone epilespy
