I Am One (Live) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Billy Corgan]
I am one as you are three
Try to find a messiah in your trinity
Your city will burn, your city will burn
Try to look for something in your city to burn
You’ll burn
Ah
Am I as I seem?

I’m down
Down
So down
Ahhhhhhhhh

[Verse 2: Billy Corgan]
Time is right for a guiding light
Try to turn to reasons in your bitter life
Your city will burn
Your city will burn!!
Try to look for something in your city to burn
You’ll burn

[Chorus: Billy Corgan with James Iha]
See you
Don’t you just want to?
See you
I am one
See you
Don’t you just want to?
See you
Raaaaagh
[Guitar Solo]

[Jam Section]
What you want is what you'll get, and that's NOTHING
What you want is what you'll get, and that's nothing
WHAT you want is what you'll get, and
What you see is what you want
And what you cannot have is what you desire

All I ever wanted was... everythiiiiiiiiiiiiiing
All I ever wanted was everything
All I ever wanted was everything and all I got was shit!
Nothing can be taken from me that has not already been taken
And there's no stories that can be written and have not been written, oh
And there's no amount of bullshit, that can be stacked hiiiiiiigh
And there's no amount of daggers
Small enough to pierce your heart

Huuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaugh
Huuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaugh

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gim gim gim nothing

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gim gim gim nothing

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gim gim gim gimme gimme gimme gam gam gam gam gam gam NOTHING

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gam gam ge ge guh guh nothing
STRAIGHT THROUGH THE MOTHERFUCKING HEART!

What you want is what you'll get and that's nothing
What you want is what you'll get and that's nothing

Nothing
Nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
Nada!

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme ga ga ga ga ga NOTHING!
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gim gim gim gimme gimme gimme gim geh geh geh geh NOTHING!
STRAIGHT THROUGH YOUR FUCKING HEART!
NOTHING!
Straight through your motherfucking heart, nothing

Ah kick it down
Gimme some... quiet

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme geh geh geh geh nothing
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme geh geh geh geh geh nothing
Nothiiiiiiiiiiiing
Nothiiiiiiiiiiing
NOTHING!
NOTHING!
NOTHING!
NOTHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

[Chorus: Billy Corgan with James Iha]
See you
Don’t you just want to?
See you
I am one
See you
Don’t you just want to?
See you
I am one

Ooooooooow!
