[Spoken Monologue: Stefani Germanotta]
This is The Manifesto
Of Mother Monster
On GOAT, a Government
Owned Alien Territory
In space
A birth of magnificent
& magical proportions
Took place
But the birth was not
Finite, it was infinite
As the wombs numbered
& the mitosis
Of the future began
It was perceived that this
Infamous moment
In life is not temporal
It is eternal
& thus began
The beginning of the new race
A race within the race
Of humanity
A race which bears
No prejudice, no judgment
But boundless freedom
But on that same day
As the eternal mother
Hovered in the multiverse
Another more terrifying
Birth took place...
The birth of evil
& as she herself split into 2
Rotating in agony
Between 2 ultimate forces
The pendulum of choice
Began its dance
It seems easy, you imagine
To gravitate instantly
& unwaveringly
Towards good
But she wondered
How can I protect
Something so perfect
Without evil?
[Intro: Stefani Germanotta]
It doesn't matter if you love him
Or capital "H-I-M M M M M"
Just put your paws up
'Cause you were born
This way, baby
[Verse 1: Stefani Germanotta]
My mama told me
When I was young
"We're all born superstars"
She rolled my hair
Put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir
There's nothing wrong
With loving who you are
She said, 'Cause He made
You perfect, babe
So hold your head
Up, girl & you'll go far
Listen to me when I say
[Chorus 1: Stefani Germanotta]
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 & you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
Born this way
[Post-Chorus: Stefani Germanotta]
Ooo, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Born this way
Ooo, there ain't other way
Baby, I was born this way
Right track, baby
I was born this way
[Interlude 1: Stefani Germanotta]
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 Don't be, don't be
[Verse 2: Stefani Germanotta]
Give yourself prudence
& Love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice the 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"
Heeey
I Love my life
I Love this record &
Mi amore vole fe yah (Safety & Evil)
[Chorus 2: Stefani Germanotta]
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
& you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
[Post-Chorus: Stefani Germanotta]
Ooo, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Born this way
Ooo, there ain't other way
Baby, I was born way
I'm on the Right track, baby
I was born this way
[Interlude 2: Stefani Germanotta]
Queen
Don't be Don't be, don't be
Don't be Queen (Church)
[Verse 3: Stefani Germanotta]
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 & Love
Yourself today
'Cause baby
You were born this way
[Chorus 3: Stefani Germanotta]
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 be brave
I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes ('Cause God makes no mistakes)
I'm on the right track, baby (Right track, baby)
I was born this way (Born this way)
Don't hide yourself in regret
Just Love yourself & you're set (Love yourself & you're set)
I'm on the right track, baby (Right track, baby)
I was born this way, yeah
[Post-Chorus: Stefani Germanotta]
Ooo, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Born this way
Ooo, there ain't other way
Baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
[Outro: Stefani Germanotta]
