(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! Shit, shit, awww. What you want is what you'll get and that’s nothing. What you want is what you'll get and that’s nothing, pow. What you want is what you'll get and what you need is what you desire and what you can’t have is what you want the most. Three thousand years. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing can be taken from me that has not already been taken. Nothing can be carved out of me that hasn’t already been taken, ow! Nothing you can say that hasn’t been sung. Why bother? Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. What have you got?! What have you got? What have you got besides a name and a buncha bills? What have you got?: shit, that’s right! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing! Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Noooooooooo-nothing! Nothing. Nothing, nothing. This song is nothing. Nothing. Kill it, kill it! Kill it, kill it. Kill it, Jimmy. (band stops) Straight through your motherfuckin’ heart: nothing! Straight through your heart: nothing. What have you got?: nothing. Not rock and roll, not MTV, nothing! Noooooothiiiiiiiing. Nothing! (band starts again) Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!!!)
Today
> Siva
[encore break]
BC: Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you. I just wanna say that you people fucking rule! The other audiences we've played for have made us feel like an opening band and we'd like to thank you making us feel like a non-opening band.
D’arcy: Billy, we know we're not an opening band because our dressing room is next to the port-a-potties.
BC: Yes, I guess you're right, D'arcy. And I hope you've had a good time today. And uh, please go home safely, don't kill anybody, don't let anybody kill you...don't get AIDs.
Mayonaise
BC: Thank you.
[encore break]
Iha: People of Minneapolis, we applaud you! Let's see some fuckin’ evil hands! Evil hands. Oh yeah, come on, come on you fucking people, gimme some evil hands! Fucking Ronnie James Dio, you know what I'm saying, come on! Maybe you don't know what I'm saying, nevermind. We thank you very much tonight and uh...and uh, heh heh heh...and eh to nado [“and uh etc.” in Japanese].
