I Am One

all I ever wanted was everything
all I ever wanted was everything
and 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
what you what is what you'll get and what you want is what you'll get
and what you want is what you'll get and that's nothing
nothing, nothing
gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gim gim gim gim gim gim gim gim nothing
gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimmme gimme gim gim gim gim gim nothing
gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gim gim gim gim gim gim gim gim nothing
gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing
I got the blues!
(uninteligible) guitar James.
(James riffs for a while, including raygun noises)
for twenty seven years I have lived with jealousy and hate in my heart
(uninteligible) and hurt and pain
part of me is love and part of me is pain
(music stops)
just 'cause you got a heart don't mean you've got feelings
and just because you've got a --- don't mean you know what the fuck's going on.
gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing
I testify
straight through the heart
gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gim gim gim gim gim gim gim gim nothing
(spoken) Ah look, another shoe from another fuckin' idiot. And what a surprise it would be a man throwing a shoe. That's all right. If that's the best statement you can make in your life is to throw a shoe, more power to you. You can tell all your friends at uh, Denny's about it tomorrow. And you can eat french fries.
what you want is what you'll get and that's nothing
what you want is what you'll get and that's nothing
we got the blues!
we got the motherfuckin' blues
gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gim gim gim gim gim gim gim gim nothing
(music restarts)

Corgan: Welcome to our rock show. Hey ---, put the lights up. Alright, now throw shit so we can see you, c'mon, throw it now. Not so brave now, are you? Ah, there's a brave man. ---, if every brave idiot that stands there there's five brave idiots watching him do it. What's the matter, not like you saw on MTV? You wanna see a concert or you wanna see a video? Iha: (uninteligible) Corgan: Then let us the fuck play and don't throw shit at us. Iha: I'd rather see a video game. Corgan: Thank you. Thank you, thank you to the intelligent people, thank you, I hope you aren't offended. We love that you come to our concerts, we really appreciate it, but we're just don't want to be targets for your shoes. Wretzky: Unless- unless you're going to throw something really good. (uninteligible) Corgan: If you throw 20 dollar bills or something... Iha: (uninteligible) Corgan: Here's our grunge classic. Drown Hummer Geek U.S.A. Mayonaise Corgan: Thank you very much. (uninteligible) While it may not always seem like it, we do appreciate that you are here, very much. So... to you we dedicate this um... Iha: This very merry, merry song. (Corgan and Iha talk over each other, uninteligibly) Today Siva [encore break] Iha: Thank you! Thanks a lot. --- we haven't practiced in a while. Soma [encore break] Iha: (beatboxing) Yeah, get your motherfucking hands up in the air! Yeah! Come on, come on! Just... just joking. Put your hands down, put your hands down.
