People are strange
When you're a stranger
Faces look ugly
When you're alone
Women seem wicked
When you're unwanted
Streets are uneven
When you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

People are strange
When you're a stranger
Faces look ugly
When you're alone
Women seem wicked
When you're unwanted
Streets are uneven
When you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange
All right, yeah!

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

    This song People are Strange by The Doors is like the song Subdivisions by Rush and the song Jimmy by Tool. These are anti-capitalism songs which are all eulogies against the free market capitalism. The capitalist system destroys families, breaks up brotherhoods and friendships, and just destroy the way of life of most people. Trotsky said long ago that capitalists are tobbogaging us toward disaster with their eyes closed
