Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Chad Beguelin/Matthew Sklar
[00:06.63] I wanna tell the people of
[00:12.38] Whatever this town's called
[00:16.07] I know what’s going on here
[00:18.86] And frankly, I'm appalled
[00:22.70] I read three quarters of a news story
[00:25.29] And knew I had to come
[00:28.20] And unless I'm doing The Miracle Worker
[00:35.34] I won't play blind, deaf and dumb
[00:49.24] Listen, you bigoted monsters
[00:51.65] Just who do you think you are?
[00:54.82] Your prejudice and your oppression
[00:56.94] Won't get past this Broadway star
[01:00.32] Stealing the rights of a girl
[01:02.06] Who is an LGBQ-Teen
[01:05.51] I've been far too angry to google what those letters mean
[01:11.50] But it's not about me
[01:14.78] It's about poor...(Emma)
[01:17.15] Emma, for can't you see
[01:20.75] The ordeal she's been dealt
[01:23.73] So hear my plea
[01:26.92] Or here’s your next dilemma
[01:30.09] How do you silence a woman who’s known for her belt?
[01:33.64] Sing it, Eleanor!
[01:35.47] Her belt
[01:39.22] But it's not about me
[01:41.08] Get them out of here! Now!
[01:43.30] Go on then, threaten to riot
[01:45.01] It won’t phase me in the least
[01:48.27] I understand furious townfolk
[01:50.22] I did Beauty and The Beast
[01:53.54] I'm no stranger to slander
[01:55.51] So my dear, you're not alone
[01:58.94] The Post once said
[02:00.09] I was too old to play Eva Peron
[02:04.61] Eva Peron!
[02:08.10] But it is not about me
[02:10.99] It's Emma’s story, damn it
[02:14.02] Equality
[02:17.09] Should be this country's norm
[02:20.04] Not Photography
[02:23.25] Unless you Instagram it
[02:26.18] Use #DeeDeeTakesLocalYokelsByStorm
[02:31.11] But it's not about me
[02:34.05] I didn't come here to make a scene
[02:36.34] But I know how Emma's heart aches
[02:39.66] And this is how actors intervene
[02:42.12] Through fiery songs and dance breaks
[02:59.32] But it's not about me
[03:02.27] Although I'm rich and famous
[03:05.34] Publicity is not my final goal
[03:11.53] You needn't be some backwoods ignoramus
[03:17.36] Join me and we'll start fighting
[03:19.63] Could I get softer lighting?
[03:21.93] Wait, this is not about me
[03:30.08] This is not about
[03:31.31] Wait what is happening?
[03:32.72] This is not about
[03:34.04] What is happening
[03:35.36] This is not about
[03:37.40] It is all about Emma
[03:40.70] And not about
[03:43.78] Me
