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 am 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

For can't you see

The raw deal she's been dealt?

So hear my plеa

Or here's your next dilеmma

How do you silence a woman who's known for her belt?

Her belt

But it's not about me

Go on then, threaten to riot

It won't faze me in the least

I understand furious townsfolk

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

No photography

Unless you Instagram it

Use #DeeDeeTakesLocalYokelsByStorm

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

But it's not about me

Although I'm rich and famous

Publicity

Is not my final goal (Call security)

You needn't be some 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?)

Me

This is not about

Me

It is all about, uh, Emma

And not about

Me
