The Whole World May Not Understand Me,

I Got A Job When I Was 15 Because My Allowance Was About $20 A Week Which In New York Was Impossible. So I Used To Waitress Across The Street From Where I Grew Up.

I Don't Want To Face The Reality Of What People Want From A Female Pop Star. Everybody Always Laughs Because I Feel So Much More Comfortable With, Like, A Giant Paper Bag On My Whole Body And Paint On My Face. Sometimes I Try Really Hard To Take It All Off. But Inevitably What's Underneath Is Still Not A Straight Edge. And I Don't Think It Ever Will Be.

Prejudice Is A Disease. And When They Come For You, Or Refuse Your Worth, I Will Be Ready For Their Stones. I Belong To You.

I'm Telling You A Lie In A Vicious Effort That You Will Repeat My Lie Over And Over Until It Becomes True

My Fashion Is Part Of Who I Am, And Though I Was Not Born With These Clothes On, I Was Born This Way.
