I think that this song is about the plights the circus freaks went through during the time when freak shows were popular. "Won't be cast as demons/creatures you despise" could be directed to society back in the day who decided that these freaks were unfit to function in society and shipped them off to circuses to have people stare at them and their oddities. "We're not your kind of people/Speak a different language/We see through your lies" shows that the freaks are unique in their own ways and refuse to be exploited for their oddities. "We are extraordinary people" is something the freaks might have said in their own minds to prove that they are just as normal as the people who consider them freaks. I saw an episode of the TV show "American Horror Story: Freak Show" where one character said "I am not a freak. I am just as normal as you are". As it turns out, someone (probably Twisty the Clown or Edward Mordrake) is unhappy seeing the freaks live in Jupiter, Florida. I think that either of these suspects just didn't understand them because they've never met them.
