Geek U.S.A.
Corgan: Hello, good evening. Welcome to planet sad. We're very happy to be your hosts for this evening.
Iha: We'd like to thank Courtney Love for that short set, she was up here, Courtney Love.
Rocket
Disarm
Corgan: Thank you. I just wanna thank you all for staying late for us. And I wanna um, I wanna personally apologize to all the people who saw us the last time we were in town, 'cause my voice was all fucked up and we sucked, so I'm sorry, I hope you weren't mad. To those of you who weren't there, it was an awesome show, I'm sorry you missed. Is anybody, is anybody out there? Hello?
Quiet
I Am One

Corgan (mid song rant):
All I ever wanted was everything
All I ever wanted was everything
All I ever wanted was everything and all I got was shit
Shhh
What you want is what you'll get, and that's nothing
What you want is what you'll get, and that's nothing
Monkey see, monkey do
Nothing can be taken from me that has not already been taken
Nothing can be taken from me that has not already been taken
Nothing can be taken from me
Nothing can be taken from me
Nothing can be taken from me
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing
What have you got? A name and a number
And a bunch of bills
Loneliness is emptiness
Emptiness is cleanliness
Cleanliness is godliness
Godliness is next to nothingness
Nothingness
Some people say that I am negative
Some people say I am negative
And of this fact, I am positive
And what have you got?
What do you need?
Where have you been, where are you going, what are you gonna do, what kinda hair you gonna have
What kinda clothes you gonna wear?
Hopefully not sandals
Emptiness is loneliness
Loneliness is cleanliness
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme give get get get nothing
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing
Everything is coming up zeroes
Everything is coming up zeroes
There are no more heroes
There's just a bunch of crowd surfin' empty motherfuckers, man
See, our little culture right here is very indicative of life
Somebody thinks they're cool, so they get up on top of your head so you can throw their ass around
Just life life
But you know what? You ain't gotta take that shit
Dump them motherfuckers on their heads, man
It ain't about culture, it ain't about Generation X, it ain't about shit
You wanna participate? Give a fuck
You wanna participate? Give a fuck
You wanna participate? Give two fucks
Everything's coming up zeroes
There are no more heroes
That concept is dead
Oh, you're a hero? You're a hero?
Yeah, okay
My heroes don't wear their baseball caps backwards
My heroes write pretty songs
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme give give give give give give get nothing
Nothing
What have you got? Nothing
You ain't got shit
You ain't got America
You ain't got MTV
Certainly ain't got God
And you don't have rock and roll
What do you believe in?
What do you believe in?
I believe in me
I believe in me
And you know what?
If there is a god, God bless him or her, that's the way they would want it to be
Gimme gimme gimme gimme nothing
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme give get get get get get get get get nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing

Soma
Today
Corgan: Thank you. What do you want, you want water?
Iha: Please, someone from security, give them some water, we only have small glasses.
Corgan: What were they doing before? Spraying you down by the fire department or what?
Iha: I will make a symbolic gesture, the one glass.
Corgan: Oh, you're so kind. I talked to a guy from the fire department before we went on, and he said he didn't give two fucks about you and there was no more water...that's what he said! I know, fuck me too, I know. Alright, so I'm lying, I don't know shit about the water.
Iha: Someone get 'em some water before they kill us!
Corgan: Listen people, we got a situation here, mister water man, where are you man, we need you, we need you right now man, there's a serious problem man, we need water right now. And listen, as I drink this, you drink it with me. I realize this is not a lot, but this is all I have, and please share. We'd like to play you a song about when we were in the military together, that's where we all met, we were all in Desert Storm, and this is about our search for water, I hope you can understand. That was a joke.
Hummer
Corgan: Drop D, you commie pig. I am a citizen of America! What's the matter, scared to rock and roll? First get rid of that mustache and then talk to me. I don't trust any man with a mustache, I'm sorry.
Iha: What's going on out there? What's going on, come on! I wanna hear something, I wanna hear that you're alive, come people. You're so loud!
Siva
Iha: Hey thanks.
[encore break]
Stay (tease)
Corgan: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Iha: Oh thank you, oh thank you.
Corgan: Put on the lights! Thank you! Thank you!
Iha: Philadelphia, home of the cheese steak, we salute you. Is everyone gonna eat a cheese steak after the show, or is that like something that happened a long time ago that no one talks about?
Corgan: Don't listen to him.
Iha: Come on! I wanna hear you.
Cherub Rock
Silverfuck
Corgan: Do we have time for one more song? I hope you've had a good time today. Please be careful going home. Learn to love each other occasionally.
Iha: Eat a cheese steak, eat a cheese steak.
Corgan: James, just shut up now.
Iha: Hey, I'll talk about cheese steaks when I want to man, it's all about cheese steaks.
