I see people saying they prefer Firework, but that does not constitute what the better song is. The fact that Gaga's song started a movement, reached the US president, and it got her a meeting with the president to discuss homosexuality which eventually helped change his stance on the topic IS telling about the importance of the song. It played an important role in Gaga's position as a gay icon which eventually allowed her to help get DATD repealed.
It was the first song to mention gays, straights, or bi's, lesbians and transgenders. It's become iconic for Gaga and the gays, whether they like it or not. It was used before, but after Gaga's song 'Born This Way' has become a catch phrase that's used in movies/songs/tv series/literature when minorities are being discussed.
Also, Katy/Madonna/Alice Cooper have performed the song on their tour as well, so even Katy uses Gaga's song
All this makes Born This Way the better song BY FAR.
Yet BTW remains as the worst single from Gaga's discogprahy, its impact doesn't make it any better.

Quote:
I didn't mean to end his life
I know it wasn't right
I can't even sleep at night
Can't get it off my mind
I need to get out of sight
Before I end up behind bars
What started out as a simple altercation
Turned into a real sticky situation
Me just thinking on the time that I'm facing
Makes me wanna cry
'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Coulda been somebody's son
And I took his heart when
I pulled up that gun
Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum
Man down
Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum
Man down
Oh mama mama mama
I just shot a man down
In Central Station
In front of a big ol' crowd
Oh I, I
Oh mama mama mama
I just shot a man down
In Central Station
It's a 22
I call her Peggy Sue
When she fits right down in my shoes
What do you expect me to do
If you're playing me for a fool
I will lose my cool
And reach for my firearm
I didn't mean to lay him down
But it's too late to turn back now
Don't know what I was thinking
Now he's no longer living
So I'm 'bout to leave town
'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Coulda been somebody's son
And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun
Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum
Man down
Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum
Man down
Oh mama mama mama
I just shot a man down
In Central Station
In front of a big ol' crowd
Oh I, I
Oh mama mama mama
I just shot a man down
In Central Station
Look I never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it
Oh gosh
What ever happened to me
Ever happened to me
Ever happened to me
Why did I pull the trigger
Pull the trigger pull the trigger boom
And end a ***** end a ***** life so soon
When me pull the trigger pull the trigger pull it on you
Somebody tell me what I'm gonna what I'm gonna do
Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum
Me say one man down oh me say
Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bumm rum bum bum bum
And me ran downtown
'Cause now I am criminal criminal criminal
Oh Lord oh mercy now I am a criminal
Man down
Tell the judge please give me minimal
Run out of town on the grand seminal seminal
Oh mama mama mama
I just shot a man down
In Central Station
In front of a big ol' crowd
Oh why oh why
Oh mama mama mama
I just shot a man down
In Central Station
