Lyrics Original Translation Bilingual
I wanna tell the people of Whatever this town's called I know what's going on here And frankly, I'm appalled I read three quarters of a news story And knew I had to come And unless I'm doing "The Miracle Worker" I won't play blind, deaf and dumb Listen, you bigoted monsters Just who do you think you are? Your prejudice and your oppression Won't get past this Broadway star Stealing the rights of a girl Who is an LGBQ-Teen I've been far too angry to google what those letters mean But it's not about me It's about poor (Emma) Emma, for can't you see The ordeal she's been dealt So hear my plea Or here's your next dilemma How do you silence a woman who's known for her belt? Sing it, Eleanor! Her belt! But it's not about me Go on then, threaten to riot It won't phase me in the least I understand furious townfolk I did "Beauty and The Beast" I'm no stranger to slander So my dear, you're not alone The Post once said I was too old to play Eva Perรณn Eva Perรณn! But it is not about me It's Emma's story, damn it Equality Should be this country's norm No photography Unless you Instagram it Use hashtag DeeDee Takes Local Yokels By Storm But it's not about me I didn't come here to make a scene But I know how Emma's heart aches And this is how actors intervene With fiery songs and dance breaks ย But it's not about me Although I'm rich and famous Publicity is not my final goal (Call security) You needn't be so backwards ignoramus Join me and we'll start fighting Could I get softer lighting? Wait, this is not about me Me (This is not about, what is happening?) Me (This is not about, what is happening?) Me (This is not about) It is all about Emma And not about me ย
