Where my favorite people at?
You folks know who I mean
Calling weirdos, punks and nerds
The strange, shy and obscene
Come, together we shall join
Embrace what others say
Then smack their smugly normie face
When they judge us for hearsay
I say let ’em talk, don’t you?
Let them follow all their “laws”
While we, instead, just laugh and share
Dark desires and faux pas
Some examples? Well I, for one
(And I’ll hold back what’s not PG)
Instead of saying “butterfly”,
I call it “butterflee”
Oh, I bet some do this too
If not, you might think “awww”
But when I get in bed at night
I’ll hold Baxter’s furry paw
I know that oh, so many folks
Who see stuff like this think
This dude’s is nuts, but I just grin
Toast irony, and drink
For we strange ascend to highest heights
To help prove it, below I’ll list
Some folks they may have heard of, and
Who’s “crazy” made them rich
To start, theres Gaga’s meaty dress
Which unarguably, is unique
If not for all her quirks and kinks
She’d be nine to five-ing all week
Oh, and Mister Johnny Depp
So many perfect roles can act
Do you think he would’ve made it if
He weren’t so damn abstract?
Let’s not forget Ms. Winehouse, in
This oddball gallery
Know what? (I actually mean this now)
Pause reading, play “Valerie”
So now you’re back, I truly hope
The real point was conveyed
Not to look down on the “normal” folks
But for “weird” – don’t be afraid
These labels blindly, thrown around
Why do they try so hard to judge?
Self-awareness, absent, in closed minds
Their misguided thoughts won’t budge
One can hope, the day arrives
When labels will be cleared
At last we finally understand
‘Cause truth is we’re all freakin’ weird
