# Sometimes I pull myself apart # # I shift my shape the way I change my colors # # Guess I'm a human work of art # # A never-ending video-o-o # # Truth gets distorted by the facts # # Peace is in danger and the trust gets broken # # Love always comes under attack # # But at the end of all of this # # Oh, oh, oh # # All the complicated boys # # Boys know that the girls are so complicated # # Try to open up your mind # # Let go, can you feel your heart liberated # # By the complicated boys, boys, boys, boys? # # And the complicated girls, girls, girls, girls # # We're all just diamonds in the rough # # I'm still a stranger in the bathroom mirror # # Stare at me long and hard enough # # You might see someone that you love # Faggots! # All the complicated boys, boys know # # That the girls are so complicated # # Try to open up your mind, let go # # Can you feel your heart liberated # # By the complicated boys, boys, boys, boys? # # And the complicated girls, girls, girls, girls # # By the complicated boys, boys, boys, boys # # And the complicated girls, girls, girls, girls # # Oh, it's complicated. # That was shite! # This girl is a beautiful sea # # The girl is a beautiful sea. # Thank you.

# When you were starin' at your bedroom wall # # With only ghosts beside you # # Somewhere out where the wind was calling # # I was on my way to find you # # I was on my way to find you # # When you were racin' like a cannonball # # In roller skates and sky blue # # Or in the backseat watching the slow rain fallin' # # I was on my way to find you # # I gotta find out who I'm meant to be # # I don't believe in destiny # # But with every word you swear to me # # All my beliefs start caving in # # And I feel something's # # About to change # # So bring the lightning # # Bring the fire, bring the fall # # I know I'll get my heart through # # Got miles to go # # But from the day I started crawlin' # # I was on my way to find you # # I was on my way to find you # # On my way # # Every day # # I was on my way to find you. # Okay. So this is our last song, so come back in. Don't worry, it's a fast one. It's about this school, and it's for Brother Baxter. Lights! Oh, oh, yeah, right.

This could be all of ours first and last gig, man. You ready to do it? Let's go. Okay, so this is our last song. This is called "Brown Shoes." And it's for every Christian Brother and every bully you ever knew.

# So who the hell are you to tell me what to do? # # You wear a dress and tell me not to wear brown shoes # # D'you think you're man enough # # To wash the makeup off my face right now? # # Don't you know the bigger that they are # # The harder they fall? # # And the boot's on the other foot now # # Buckle up, we're takin' you down # # See, your curtain's fallin', so take your bow # # And who the hell is he to tell me who to be? # # If he wants me dancin', he can watch on MTV # # You try to shut me up, I'll turn the volume up # # And drown you out # # Don't you know the bigger that they are # # The harder they fall? # # Yeah, the boot's on the other foot now # # Buckle up, we're takin' you down # # See, your curtain's fallin', so take your bow # # What's gonna define the rest of your life? # # Start facin' the truth # # You're stuck in a lie # # Sharp end of your knife is pointing at you # # Your up'll be down # # Just hangin' around in gravity boots # # You're stuck in the past, I'm writing the future # # Yeah, the boot's on the other foot now # # Buckle up, we're takin' you down # # And your mask is slippin', so take your bow # # Yeah, you had your time in the sun # # Does it hurt when you're kickin' someone? # # 'Cause the boot's on the other foot # # Boot's on the other foot # # Boot's on the other foot now # # Take a bow. # Thank you!
