please send a message

to all the people

who find their pleasures in being normal

please help them to see

they can be different

although their lives make it hard to see it

i get frustrated when i walk in town

but it's not my place to tell them now

that they can think strange

they can be different

so i go home and imagine everyone saying...

how can we be strange?

how can we be strange

when we've got work to do today?

please understand this

i'm not a fascist

just with that folk wouldn't be so passive

toward the freak in the subconscious

it's in us all so don't be so cautious

please help them to see

they can feel different

although their lives make it hard to feel it

please send a message

to all the people

so i can go home and not hear them saying

how can we be strange...
