Lyrics - New Test Leper by R.e.m.

I can't say that
I love
Jesusthat would be a hollow claim.
He did make some observationsand
I'm quoting them today."
Judge not lest ye be judged."what a beautiful refrain.
The studio audience disagrees.
Have his lambs 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 understandbut 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 5 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
