Why Creed Happened, reason #355

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEUsJRVV-PE

Says a commenter on SongMeanings: Allow me to quote Ed Kowalczyk himself: "...the song "Freaks" from "Secret Samadhi," which was completely a song about random, abstract notions from the subconscious, not a message of any sort of weight." I think that settles the question of meaning nicely.

currently in the song's wikipedia description: The song is about intolerance so the man is in a milk bar and is looked down on because he won't drink his coffee with milk.
