It's a love story for the new age
For the six page
We're on a quick sick rampage
Wining and dining
Drinking and driving
Excessive buying
Overdose and dyin'
On our drugs and our love
And our dreams and our rage
Blurring the lines between real and the fake
Dark and lonely
I need somebody to hold me
He will do very well
I can tell, I can tell
Keep me safe in his bell tower, hotel

Unlike everyone else who criticized "Born This Way" for sounding like Madonna's "Express Yourself," which it does, my main criticism of Lady Gaga's inclusion anthem was its wordiness. In her efforts to offer hope and comfort to every repressed minority in the world while also producing a credible rhyme, Gaga's wordplay gets a little out control, as witnessed by the couplet above. And we're pretty sure the "Orientals" like to be called Asians now.
Drag a bit tho.
