(BC midsong: All I ever wanted was everything. All I ever wanted was everything! All I ever wanted was everything and all I got was shit. Nothing can be taken from me that hasn’t already been taken! Nothing can be taken from me that hasn’t already been taken. And there is peace in my heart and there is trouble in my hurt. And there is peace in my hurt and there is trouble in my hurt. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing.

It’s gonna be alright, it’s gonna be alright, gonna be alright, gonna be alright, gonna be alright, gonna be alright, yeah. ... What you feel inside is real. What you feel inside is real. No one can take from you your feelings. They can...cut your hair, take your clothes, send you to school, make you go to church...but it doesn’t mean you’re gonna like it. For 27 years, I have walked with hate in my heart! For 27 years, I have walked with hate in my heart. For 27 motherfuckin’ years, I have walked with hate in my heart. 27 years. 27 years. Nothing can be taken from me that hasn’t already been taken. Nothing can be taken from me that hasn’t already been taken. And what have you got when you have nothing? Nothing. What have you got when you have nothing? Nothing, nothing, nothing. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. Nothing!!! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing. Nothing! Nothing!!!)

BC: ...thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Iha: Damn, kickin' that dope beat! (beatboxes briefly)
BC: Thanks up there too, hi. I’m sorry you have to be so far away...but at least, at least you don't have to deal with the "as seen on MTV" body surfer, so.... Gee, thanks for hitting me with your necklace, I appreciate it, heh heh heh.
Iha: And we'd like to thank the crazy man with the Superballs, uh...come backstage and uh...I'll show you a fuckin' Superball, you....
BC: Yeah, keep throwin' those Superballs, you motherfucker. Keep 'em comin'. Sooner or later we're gonna find out who you are and beat the shit out of you.
Iha: Ugh! Damn the man! He's right there, I see him! Beat him, punch him, do you have a brick? Hit him.
BC: You're the Superball man?
Iha: No, no, not that man.
BC: But you're still a dick for gettin' up.
Iha: Haha. But he bought one of our T-shirts though, heh heh heh.
BC: Oh wait, he did have a T-shirt on, sorry about that.
Iha: Ha! (laughing) Oh...you are gonna get it, you....
BC: Well, go ahead and throw all the shit you wanted to throw now, at least we can see it.
Iha: Kansas City mother...fucker, heh heh.
BC: Go ahead. The lights are on, see, now we can see you, you know. What's the matter, you don't wanna throw anything now?
Iha: Oh, we'd like to make a dedication at this time to a Kansas City resident, Andy Gershon, do any of you know him? Andy Gershon? He's from here, we're gonna bust a dope jam for him right now.
BC: Uhhh...this is a new song that we wrote. After you, Jimmy.
