I Am One
(BC midsong: What you want is what you’ll get. What you want is what you’ll get. What you want is what you’ll get and that’s nothing. What you want is what you’ll get and that’s nothing. All I ever wanted was everything, all I ever wanted was everything and all I ever wanted was everything and all I ever got was a pocketful of dreams. What you got inside your heart ain’t necessarily what’s inside your head. And what comes out of your mouth ain’t necessarily true. Nothing can be taken from me. Nothing can be taken from me that hasn’t already been taken! Hooo-ow. Hoooo-ow. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Gimme some more of that nothing. Gimme some more of your nothing! Gimme some more of that nothing. ‘Cause nothing’s for free, nothing’s for free, nothing’s for free, nothing for free, nothing for free, (screaming) not god, not love, not pain! Nothing’s for free! (normal) Yah! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Nothing. Nothing. Nothing! Nothing! There’s nothing! Nothing!!)

[encore break]
Iha: That was cool.
BC: Alright, wait, why do you keep yelling, "D'arcy smile," what does -– what does that mean? Why is it important that she smile? Why?
