Letra New Test Leper - R.E.M.
I can't say that I love Jesus
That would be a hollow claim
He did make some observations
And I'm quoting them today
\"Judge not lest ye be judged\"
What a beautiful refrain
The studio audience disagrees
Have his limbs all gone astray?
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
\"You are lost and disillusioned\"
What an awful thing to say
I know this show doesn't flatter
It means nothing to me
I thought I might help them understand
What an ugly thing to see
\"I am not an animal\"
Subtitled under the screen
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
When I tried to tell my story
They cut me off to take a break
I sat silent five commercials
I had nothing left to say
The talk show host was index-carded
All organized and blank
The other guests were scared and hardened
What a sad parade
What a sad parade
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
