you might ask yourself
what am i doing in this place tonight?
you might ask yourself
is the band out of tune or do i feel alright?
you might ask yourself
why do my friends think my dad is gay, huh?
you might ask yourself
if my dad is gay, does that mean i’m okay?
into the blue again
water flowing underground
letting the days go by
water flowing underground
yeah!
you might ask yourself
who is that fucking guy on stage? yeah!
you might ask yourself
what does he know about me and my life?
you might ask yourself
why am i incapable of crying real tears?
you might ask yourself
is my life fear or my fear my life?
letting the days go by
water flowing underground
into the blue again
water flowing underground

[5-6 unintelligible words], i failed, i lost, i lived, i loved and i’ve come back for more ‘cause i’m just like that, (screams).

what the fuck?
it all sign – it all seems so easy in the beginning
it was a walk in the park.
america opened its arms but it wasn’t america, it wasn’t, huh?
we spit in the eye of america
we say we reject your bullshit britney spears, ‘n sync motherfucking heavy metal
fate of our fake tits motherfuckin’ culture

Iha: That's when I was in the Joffrey Ballet. Remember that?

BC: Are you working the dance joke again?
Iha: Or whether that be the convulsing chicken, I want you to exert some sort of movement.
[inaudible]
Iha: I want them to move in a, you know, how you dance in the living room or like when no one's looking. Something like that.
BC: Aren't you gonna introduce Melissa?
Iha; Yes. I would like to introduce our socialist bass player, all the way from Canada, Miss Melissa Auf der Maur. Woo-hoo. And on, we've already introduced him, but why not again, Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin on the drums and acoustic guitar. Beat the shit out of those damn drums. And on the lead vocals and guitar, Mr. Billy Corgan.
