It's Not About Me |
| 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’m 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 pla |
| Or here’s your next dilmma |
| How do you silence a woman who’s known for her belt? |
| Sing it, Eleanor! |
| Her belt! |
| But it’s not about me |
| Get them out of here! |
| Now! |
| 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 Perón |
| Eva Perón! |
| But it is not about me |
| It’s Emma’s story, damn it |
| Equality |
| Should be this country’s norm |
| Not 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 |
| Through fiery songs and dance breaks |
| But it’s not about me |
| Although I’m rich and famous |
| Publicity is not my final goal (Call security) |
| You needn’t be backwoods ignoramus |
| Join me and we’ll start fighting |
| Could I get softer lighting? |
| Wait, this is not… about me! |
| This is not about (What is happening?!) |
| This is not about (What is happening?!) |
| This is not about (What is happening?!) |
| It is all about Emma |
| And not about |
| Me |
