We don”t get to hear “Born This Way,” Lady Gaga”s new single from the forthcoming album of the same name, until Feb. 13, but she”s done the next best thing for her little monsters: she”s tweeted the lyrics.
As we could guess from what she”s said and from the title, the song”s lyrics are all about acceptance and believing that you are fine however you are because that is how God made you.
The tune, written by Lady Gaga and produced by Lady Gaga, Fernando Gariba, and DJ White Shadow, will undoubtedly raise the ire of the religious right (as if that were her core audience to begin with) with such lyrics as “A different lover is not a sin/Believe Capitol H-I-M.” She also breaks the fourth wall by talking about “I love this record” in the middle of the record. We do live the line about “Don”t be a drag/just be a queen.”
[More after the jump…]
But she”s not just sticking up for her gay following, she”s here for any of us who have ever felt like an outcast, no matter how awkwardly she may proclaim it (like rhyming “Chola descent” with “you”re Orient.”).
Below are the lyrics to “Born This Way.” The single officially drops on Feb. 13 and Lady Gaga will perform the same night on the Grammys.
The album, “Born This Way,” will be out May 23. Lady Gaga previewed some remixed music from the album at the Thierry Mugler fashion show earlier this month. You can hear that music here.
