Attack Of the Gleeks: Song Of The Week: Born This Way By New Directions

For episode 18 of Glee Season 2, out of the six songs that was shown, I've chosen the song "Born This Way" performed by the New Directions less Santana Lopez. The song was originally from Lady Gaga. This is the last song for the episode as tribute to the pop diva and it talks about acceptance of what you are, that we should not change anything about ourselves because we want to become someone else just like anybody else.

Each member of the glee club has their own T-shirt with their identities and here is the list:

Artie – “Four Eyes”

Brittany – “I’m With Stoopid” (Arrow up)

Finn – “Can’t Dance”

Kurt – “Likes Boys”

Lauren – “Bad Attitude”

Mercedes – “No Weave!”

Mike – “Can’t Sing”

Puck – “I’m With Stupid” (Arrow down)

Quinn – “Lucy Caboosey”

Sam – “Trouty Mouth”

Santana – “Bitch”  “Lebanese”

Tina – “Brown Eyes”

Emma – “Ginger” “OCD” (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)

Rachel - “Nose”

Will – “Butt Chin”

Here is the video and the lyrics:

BORN THIS WAY

Glee Cast

It doesn't matter if you love him or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
'Cause you were born this way, baby

My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir

There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are
She said, 'cause He made you perfect, babe
So hold your head up, girl and you you'll go far
Listen to me when I say

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 and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way, born this way

Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way

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

Give yourself prudence and love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice of 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
I love my life, I love this record and
Mi amore vole fe yah

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 and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby

I was born this way

Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way

Don't be drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're black, white, beige, chola descent
You're Lebanese, you're orient

Left you outcast, bullied or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'Cause baby, you were born this way

No matter gay, straight or bi
Lesbian, transgendered life

No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
