π Lyrics
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 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 plea
Or here's your next dilemma
How do you silence a woman who's known for her belt?
Sing it, Eleanor!
Her belt!
But it's not about me
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 PerΓ³n
Eva PerΓ³n!
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 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
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 so backwards ignoramus
Join me and we'll start fighting
Could I get softer lighting?
Wait, this is not about me
Me (This is not about, what is happening?)
Me (This is not about, what is happening?)
Me (This is not about)
It is all about Emma
And not about me
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 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

So hear my plea
