Ben je het ook zo moe dat ‘I am what, I am’ van Gloria Gaynor op alle holebi-feesten steeds weer als dé gay-anthem te horen is en ben je een Lady Gaga fan? Dan is er goed nieuws want Lady Gaga heeft de lyrics van haar gay-anthem via Twitter bekend gemaakt.
Enkele maanden geleden liet Lady Gaga al weten dat ze werkte aan een gay-anthemachtige song die op haar nieuwe cd Born This Way zou staan. Die cd komt eind mei uit in de Verenigde Staten.
In de titeltrack Born This way zingt Lady Gaga het volgende:
NO MATTER GAY, STRAIGHT, OR BI
LESBIAN, TRANSGENDERED LIFE
I’M ON THE RIGHT TRACK BABY
I WAS BORN TO SURVIVE
Via Twitter riep ze haar kleine monsters op om de hashtag #bornthiswaylyrics te gebruiken. Binnen de twintig minuten na haar oproep stond de hashtag aan de top in de lijst van trending topics op Twitter.
Het nieuwe nummer zal tijdens de uitreiking van de Grammy Awards voor het eerst te horen zijn.
De volledige songtekst is als volgt:
BORN THIS WAY
INTRO:
It doesn’t matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
‘cause you were BORN THIS WAY, Baby
VERSE:
My mama told me whem I was young
We are all born SUPERSTARS
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
in the glass of her boudoir
‘There’s nothing wrong with lovin’ who you are’
she said, ”cause he made you PERFECT, babe’
‘So hold your head up girl and you’ll go far,
listen to me when I say’
CHORUS:
I’m BEAUTIFUL in my way
‘cause GOD MAKES NO MISTAKES
I’m on the right track baby
I was BORN THIS WAY
Don’t hide yourself in regret
just love yourself and you’re set
I’m on the right track baby
I was BORN THIS WAY
POST-CHORUS:
Ooo there ain’t no other way
Baby, I was BORN THIS WAY
Baby, I was BORN THIS WAY
Ooo there ain’t no other way
Baby I was BORN –
I’m on the right track baby
I was BORN THIS WAY
DON’T BE A DRAG – JUST BE A QUEEN
DON’T BE A DRAG – JUST BE A QUEEN
DON’T BE A DRAG – JUST BE A QUEEN
DON’T BE!
VERSE:
Give yourself prudence
and lover your friends
subway kid, rejoice your TRUTH
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth
A different lover is NOT a SIN
Believe capital H-I-M (Hey Hey Hey)
I LOVE MY LIVE I LOVE THIS RECORD and
Mi amore vole fe yah (LOVE NEEDS FAITH)
REPEAT CHORUS + POST-CHORUS
BRIDGE:
DON’T BE A DRAG, JUST BE A QUEEN
Whether you’re broke or evergreen
you’re black, white, beige, chola descent
you’re lebanese, you’re orient
whether life’s disabilities
left you OUTCAST, BULLIED, or TEASED
REJOICE and LOVE YOURSELF TODAY
‘cause baby you were BORN THIS WAY
No matter GAY, STRAIGHT, or BI,
LESBIAN, TRANSGENDERED LIFE
I’m on the right track baby
I WAS BORN TO SURVIVE
No matter BLACK, WHITE or BEIGE
CHOLA or ORIENT made
I’m on the right track baby
I WAS BORN TO SURVIVE
REPEAT CHORUS
OUTRO/REFRAIN:
I WAS BORN THIS WAY HEY!
I WAS BORN THIS WAY HEY!
I’M ON THE RIGHT TRACK BABY
I WAS BORN THIS WAY HEY!
