(BC during quiet part before outro: Long live rock and roll, long live rock and roll, long live rock and roll, yes, long live rock and roll. I wish I believed that because, yes, for the rest of our lives we’re going to be listening to Britney Spears, but...long live rock and roll! Long live rock and roll, heh heh heh! All of 'N Sync and Britney and Christina and Mandy are all gonna have children and then we’re gonna have to listen to them too. Long live rock and roll!

you might ask yourself
what am i doing here tonight?
you might ask yourself
why do i feel so alright?
you might ask yourself
why do all my friends think my dad is gay?
you might ask yourself
if i feel like this, does that mean i’m really okay?

once in a lifetime
water flowing underground
into the blue again
water flowing underground, yeah!

you might ask yourself
who is that fuckin’ guy on stage?
you might ask yourself
what does he know about me and my life?
you might ask yourself
why do we have a wrestler for a governor? (Iha: I don’t know.)
you might ask yourself
at least he knows how to pile drive the other governors

once in a lifetime
into the blue again
water flowing underground
into the blue again

every yell takes me backwards, every moment takes me forwards, there is no tomorrow, there is no yesterday, only right fucking now

across the hypnosis of america, we peer into a future of non-resolution and we say “what the fuck is going on? what the fuck is going on? (screaming) what the fuck is going on?!!”

what...?!
...the fuck?!!

[encore break]
Iha: Hey, thanks a lot, you guys have been really great tonight. You rock, Minnesota. How is everybody doing? Are you completely rocked out at this point? You never want to hear rock music again? No, you want more. We’ll rock for Melissa. But first, a quick introduction. On the bass (pronounced like the fish) guitar, Melissa Auf der Maur. She’s from Canada and she’s a socialist. Back on the drum seat again, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin. Rocking like nobody’s business. On the guitar and vocals, Mr. Billy Corgan. And, uh, on the e-bow, uh, me, James, thanks.
Fuck You
Mayonaise
Iha: Thanks. Take care of yourself, Minneapolis. People of Rochester Hills(?). Thank you.
