Strange people

(Only GUITARS and DRUMS)

This is for them, for all the strange ones

The ones who smile to stab you later

People who need you, they smile and then greet you

And, once they’re done, they show you the door

When you are like them

You sit and defend them

And, when you’re unlike them

You stand and offend

You strange people

You may have seen them, you may know their names too

You just smile and greet them, but you call them your friends

When others do something, something you’ve done too

You stand up in front and preach to them

When you promise that, you’ll do something

You don’t keep your word and act to be strange

And, when you lie, you lie right at her face

And, you simply say, “I did it for you”

You strange people

When you are like them

You sit and defend them

And, when you’re unlike them

You stand and offend

You strange people
